Open Studio Policy: ​​​​​

​

Open Studio is completely independent and exclusively for individuals age 16 & older who have sufficient experience and knowledge of the clay, equipment, and tools to safely work in the studio space without the aid of an instructor. 

 

​- Upon initial visit, each participant must arrive 15 minutes early for a clearance tour of the studio and demonstration of expectations and to read and sign our policy and waiver form. 

​- Remember to wear closed-toe/closed-heel shoes

- Opt for short sleeve shirts and comfortable pants. Leave dangling clothes and dangling jewelry at home.

- If you have long hair, wear it up or pulled back for your safety and comfort.

- No outside clay permitted at this time

- Outside glazes must be approved by Clay Studio Manager
