General Open Studio Info
  • Studio memberships and Open Studio are for individuals who already have some experience in clay and can work without direction or help. If you're a clay beginner, please consider signing up for one of our classes!
  • Open studio hours are also great for current students who want more studio time beyond their class hours.

Clay and Firing Info
  • Our standard cone 06 bisque and cone 6 glaze firings are included with your membership!
  • Clay is not included with your membership but you can purchase it onsite as needed or you can bring in your own. 
  • If you can't verify your clay body by the manufacturer's name or number, we'll need to test-fire a sample of it to cone 6.
  • Use of our studio glazes is included with your membership, but you can also bring in your own.
  • Clay or glazes brought in must be rated for firing to cones 5-6 (mid-range). 
  • To prevent contamination and accidental meltdowns, low-fire clay and glazes (cones 06-04) may not be used in the Clay Center studio.
  • Clay may be purchased during our Open Hours, or online for pickup at a later time. Check out our online store to see which clay bodies we currently have in stock.
  • Feel free to email us with any questions!

Studio Monitor Program
  • Get a discount on your studio membership by becoming a Studio Monitor! It's a great way to get regular time in the studio while saving some money. Just email us if you're interested and we'll send you some info. If no spots are currently available, we'll add you to our waitlist.
