DROP-IN OPEN STUDIO SESSIONS


Drop-In Open Studio Session ($25 for up to 4 hours)
  • Need to extrude some stuff, glaze some pots, or use a slab roller? For just $25, you can drop in for up to 4 hours of Open Studio time! Click here to get started.
  • Just like all our Open Studio options, Drop-in Sessions are for individuals who already have some experience in clay and can work without direction or help. There is always a Studio Monitor on duty, but there is no instruction available.
  • Drop-in Sessions are available during our open hours only. Our hours are subject to change, so please check our calendar before dropping in to make sure we're open.
  • To sign up for a Drop-in Session, just click here!

Good to know
  • Drop-in Sessions are only available during our open hours. They are not available during class times, overnight, or if the Clay Center is closed for any other reason.
  • To pay for a Drop-in Session, click here or ask for the Studio Monitor on duty. The Studio Monitor can also ring you up for clay if needed, or take in your pieces for drop-off firing.
  • Drop-in Sessions do not include storage, clay, or firing of work:
    • Drop-in studio users are welcome to use our drop-off firing service.
    • Clay is available for purchase onsite, or you can bring in your own.
    • Drop-in studio users are welcome to use our studio glazes, or you can 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.
