Course Info

This is an independent wheel practice option designed for skill-building, not finished pieces. Choose either:
 
2-Hour Session: Book a single 2-hour practice block with access to a pottery wheel and studio tools to work at your own pace. Pieces made during this session are not kept.
4-Hour Option (2 + 2): Book 4 hours total and use it as two separate 2-hour practice sessions. You will book your first 2-hour session, then schedule your second 2-hour session within 7 days of the first.
 
If you would like to keep a finished piece, you can upgrade to Open Studio Keep.

This is an independent open studio option where you can make your pieces and keep them, with shelf space included so your work can set up properly for trimming.
 
2-Hour Session: Use your time for making on the wheel and keep what you create. Your pieces can stay on our shelves for up to 3 days so they can dry and firm up.
4-Hour Option (2 + 2): This option is designed for making + trimming. You book your first 2-hour session to throw your pieces, then book your second 2-hour session within 4 days to come back and trim. After your trimming session, you can keep your pieces on the shelf for an additional 3 days to allow them to dry and firm up before the next steps.

Course Info

The Open Studio Pass is a 4-week, monthly studio access program for makers who want consistent time to work on their own projects. You will have scheduled access to the studio space, tools, and equipment, and you will be working at the same time as a group of other makers. It creates a fun, motivating environment where you can focus on your work while sharing the space with people of like mind.

This is a self-guided format with no step-by-step instruction, so it suits those who are comfortable working independently and want time to practice, build, and improve at their own pace.

Pieces made during Open Studio will be bisque fired and prepared for pickup. If you would like to glaze your work, you can use our glaze firing service for an additional fee
