GET CREATIVE IN OPEN STUDIO!
Already have some clay experience and just need space to work? Sign up for Open Studio at the Clay Center! Open studio hours are for individuals who already have some experience in clay and can work without direction or instruction. We recommend taking at least two beginner-level clay classes before signing up for Open Studio (with us or elsewhere).
We offer a monthly All Access option which allows you to use as many of the available Open Studio hours as you'd like in a month for $140. If you have less availability, you can save some money by registering for a weekly time slot instead. It's like signing up for a class, but without an instructor.
If you have never worked in clay but would like to learn, please consider taking one of our classes!
