Ceramic Open Studios
The Ceramic Open Studio provides current students with an opportunity to practice and advance their skills outside of class time. During open studio hours, students may build on wheel, hand building, and glazing techniques. While there will be a studio monitor present at all times, instruction will not be provided.
Students enrolled in a current session are entitled to 3 hours of Ceramic Open Studio time for each week of the semester. Students have access to a total of 12 open studio sessions and will have the option of attending any open studio as listed in the schedule below.
No more than 12 students will be allowed entry to any given open studio session. Open Studio hours cannot be rolled over into other class periods and no make ups are available for missed sessions.
