General Open Studio Info
Clay and Firing Fee Info
Studio Monitor Program
- Open studio hours are for individuals who already have some experience in clay and can work without direction or help. There is no instructor in Open Studio. If you have never worked in clay but would like to learn, please consider signing up for one of our beginner-level classes!
- Open studio hours are also great for current students who want more studio time beyond their class hours.
Clay and Firing Fee Info
- Clay and firing fees are not included with studio membership and are purchased separately as needed.
- When you purchase your clay from us, we will automatically add our discounted $20/bag member firing fee. This fee covers both bisque and glaze firings for all pieces made from that bag of clay.
- Our standard firing fee is $1/lb for either bisque or glaze firing, so the $20 member firing fee is about 50% cheaper than paying by the pound.
- A 25-lb bag of clay ranges from $24 - $39, depending on the clay body. Clay can be purchased during our Open Hours, or online for pickup at a later time.
- If you bring in clay you purchased elsewhere, we can fire it for our standard $1/lb firing rate (covers bisque or glaze firing, but not both).
- If you bring in clay you purchased elsewhere and cannot confirm which clay body it is by name or number, we will need to test-fire a sample to cone 6 to make sure it won't melt down in our glaze firings
- Feel free to email us with any questions!
Studio Monitor Program
- Get a discount on your open studio time 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.
