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.
