Andrews Hall offers an atmosphere to support serious creative work within a respectful and collaborative communal studio.

This membership is intended for ceramic artists who can work safely, follow studio policies, and contribute positively to the studio community. Members have access to a workspace that supports ongoing practice, experimentation, and artistic growth.

Artists interested in becoming part of the Andrews Hall ceramics community are invited to complete an application for consideration. Deadline for application submission is May 15.
