The Ceramics Studio Passport allows you to access open studio hours during our Fall 2018 term. Limited to students with a basic knowledge of ceramics and overseen by a monitor, instead of instructor, this “class” is a great opportunity to work at your own pace and continue your exploration in clay.
Open studio hours are posted monthly online here and in the studio.
