General Info
  • Open studio hours are available for purchase through our Corsizio registration site. They can be purchased on their own or in conjunction with one of our classes.
  • Open studio hours are for working on your own clay pieces without instruction or assistance. If not purchased in conjunction with a concurrent class, open studio hours are best for individuals who already have some experience in clay and can work without direction.
  • Open studio hours are available only to those registered in advanced through our registration site. We do not offer informal drop-in studio use or 24/7 studio access.

Format and Cost
  • Open studio hours are sold as a monthly "pack" of a weekly 4-hour time slot (for example, Tuesdays from 2  to 6 pm or Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm). Click here to view our current open studio slots!
  • The rate for a monthly pack of any given weekly slot is equal to $20 per week. For most months, the monthly rate for a given time slot will be $80 ($20 x 4 weeks in a month).
  • Due to holiday closures, some months will have less than 4 sessions of a particular open studio time slot. If so, the rate for that month would be $20, $40, or $60, depending on the number of weeks the Clay Center will be open.
  • Open studio hours include use of communal throwing and hand-building tools, bats/wareboards, and storage shelves.
  • Open studio hours do NOT include clay or firing fees; these must be purchased separately. Firing fees are $20 per bag of clay, and a 25-lb bag of clay is $22 to $35, depending on the clay body. Clay and firing fees can be purchased during open studio hours from the Studio Monitor.

Now hiring Studio Monitors!
  • Save money on your own open studio fees by becoming a Studio Monitor! By committing to monitor one (or more) open studio shifts each week for two consecutive months, you'll get 50% off the cost of those shifts. It's a great way to get regular time in the studio while saving some money.
  • As a Studio Monitor, you'll primarily work on your own artwork during your shifts, but you'll also need to handle small tasks as needed, like selling clay, answering the phone, and showing visitors into our gallery.
  • We still have Studio Monitor shifts available starting in August! Available shifts are shown below in green (click image to enlarge).
  • Email us with any questions or to sign up for a shift!
