Clay Open Studio May 2026: This class is an opportunity to work independently on your ceramic projects - there is no teaching artist present during Open Studio Hours. This "class" is a great opportunity to focus on the techniques you have acquired. Clay Open Studio is only for those who are familiar with the ceramic process, who don't need hands-on instruction, and who feel confident working independently.

Please note Open Studio registrations are for one month. If you cannot complete your work in one month, you will need to sign up for another month.

Open Studio Registrants are responsible for cleaning all areas used.

Fee includes studio time and glazes.
