DO YOUR OWN THING

sUMMER TIME pOTTERY diy oPEN sTUDIO

Every Wednesday from June 25 to July 30, 2025.

Morning Session: 9am to noon or Evening Session: 6pm to 9pm

Enjoy creating your own masterpiece from stoneware clay - no set project- just make whatever you like at your own pace. For hand building, no prior clay experience is needed, but only minimal instruction beyond the basics will be provided. There are reference books available in the studio. If you want to use the wheel, you must already know the basics of centering and pulling the clay up to form a cylinder.

Cost: $30 per person per 3 hour session. This includes 3 pounds of clay and use of tools and equipment. More clay will be available for purchase at $1 per pound. If you want your piece to be fired (to make it permanent) there will be a firing fee of $20 per piece up to 3 pounds in size. An additional $5 will be added for each pound over 3 lbs. It will take about 2 to 3 weeks for your work to dry and be fired the first time. Depending on what you make, you may be able to glaze your work immediately after it is made. If not, you will schedule a time to come after it has been fired once and glaze it for a second firing. The firing fee covers use of glaze and the two firings.

There is limited space (4 for hand building and 1 wheel) and you must reserve a time. You can choose either the morning or evening time and work for the full 3 hours or until you have finished, whichever comes first. You will be responsible for cleaning up your work area and tools before you leave. There is a form you must complete and sign before starting to work.
