Create independently during our Open Studio - for those who master the techniques and want to work freely with clay at their own pace in a relaxed atmosphere.
Open Studio
Our Open Studio is the ultimate space for anyone who already has ceramics experience and wants to work independently in a welcoming and inspiring environment. If you've taken a course or are already familiar with working with clay, wheel throwing, or hand-building, the Open Studio is the perfect way to keep creating at your own pace.
Glazing and Kiln Firing
Clay, glaze, and the firing of your work are charged separately. Clay is priced per kilogram, and glazes are sold in the studio. We offer a fine selection of Mayco glazes, which are available for purchase in the studio and can also be bought separately if desired. Firing costs are calculated based on the space your piece occupies in the kiln. We will be happy to show you in the studio how this price is determined. This applies to both bisque firing and glaze firing.
How it works
You simply book a time slot and work independently on your own projects. Whether you're focused on throwing, building, finishing, or glazing, the studio is fully equipped with everything you need: wheels, work tables, tools, and basic supplies are all included. A studio expert is always available during your session for quick questions or minor help, but remember this is not a guided lesson.
