Free for Studio Members & Students

Unlimited Open Studio is offered to Studio Members and students enrolled in the 6-Week Pottery Wheel classes. An email will be send out with a discount code to receive a 100% discount.

Start with 2-3 Hours

Out of respect to other potters seeking studio time, we ask that you book no more than one three-hour time slot per day. If there is space after your time slot, you are welcome to stay longer.

Know Before you Go

If you do not yet feel confident safely and independently operating the studio equipment, we ask that you inquire about private lesson availability during Open Studio to build knowledge and confidence.

Leave the Studio Cleaner than You Found It

Do your part in keeping Open Studio free and unlimited. Clean up after yourself thoroughly including the washing of your pottery wheel, wiping of any surfaces you used, cleaning all tools and brushes, clearing clay debris from buckets, and mopping the floor of any spills and splashes.

Frequently wet-cleaning the studio keeps it safe for all of us to use. Clay and glaze both contain silica which is dangerous to inhale in dust form. Keeping dust low by wiping everything down after use keeps our lungs safe.

Guest Policy

Please do not bring guests to the studio with prior approval first. You are responsible for your guest while they are in the space. Your guest will be subject to the $5/hour Open Studio use fee.

Cancellation/No Show Fee

A $5 fee will be issued for cancelling a booked Open Studio time-slot less than 24 hours in advance. Please only book Open Studio once you are confident you'll be able to attend as space is very limited and in high-demand!

Private Lessons during Open Studio

30 minute Private Lessons can be booked with Jacqueline or Sharon during Open Studio at the following rates:

$50 - Non members/students
$35 - Members and Students

Advanced scheduling is preferred.
