Registration is only required for Open Studio Ceramics at this time. The cost is $20 per week and is limited to 10 students. The fee includes access all equipment and wheels, glazing and kiln operations. To better accommodate your schedule, we have made the structure more flexible, allowing you to sign up for any or all 8 weeks. When registering, please specify which weeks (6/19, 6/26, 7/10, 7/17, 7/24, 7/31, 8/7, 8/14) you intend to come. To ensure consistent kiln results, we require that you purchase/use our clay. If you sign up for 5 weeks or more, a bag of clay is included at no cost. We recommend signing up in advance as it is expected that this part of the program will sell out.
