Open Studio Access

Open studio hours are regularly offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10AM-1PM.  Open studios are a great fit for those with a basic knowledge of textile work, and a wish to work without instruction, at their own pace.

Access to open studio hours are available to every student who takes a 3+ week class in our textiles studio, and are also available to any textile artists who would like to work in a community use space for a flat, monthly rate.  If you are interested in accessing our textile open studio hours, please contact our programs department for more information.

Monthly Studio Renter Access

Designed for self sufficient, trained textile artists looking for studio access, the renter program provides unrestricted access to the space and equipment outside of pre-scheduled classes. If you have participated in the open studio program, and feel confident in your practice, this is an ideal next step in your journey as a textile artist.  To be eligible to be a renter in this space, 1+ months of being in our open studio program is required.
