Times and dates are subject to change. Students can come to any or all time slots. Please note to have your space cleaned up by 8:45 as the center closes promptly at 9pm.
Students who have completed an introductory class may participate in Open Studio. Open Studio participants pay a monthly fee of $85, which includes the use of half a baker's rack to store their items. They may also pay an additional $10.00 monthly for a locker, if available. The monthly studio rate includes access on Monday evenings from 6 PM to 9 PM. If you are no longer participating in the monthly open studio, please ensure your shelf and locker are cleaned out by the 15th of the following month, or you will be charged for that month. All shelves and lockers will be cleaned out after the 15th. Any items left behind will become the property of the studio.
No outside clay, bisque, or glazed pieces are allowed, nor do we allow clay to be taken out of the studio and brought back in to fire, etc. This is very important as damage to equipment can occur.
Please refer back to Student Information sheet on cleaning policies.
