Open Studio Sessions

  • Looking for more time to practice your pottery skills outside of classes but not quite ready for full membership? Open Studio Sessions are designed just for you! This flexible option allows you to work in our studio on a session-by-session basis.

    Open Studio Sessions run on a weekly schedule:

    • Mondays 9am - 5:30pm

    • Fridays 9am - 10:30pm

    • Saturdays 2:30pm - 10:30pm

    • Sundays 1:30pm - 10:30pm


    Cost: $200 + HST for a 4-session package (each session is 3 hours)

    • Packages expire 2 months from the date of purchase.

    ​For full-time studio access, check out our Membership options!

  • To ensure all participants are comfortable with our studio operations, Open Studio Sessions are open to those who have completed two 8-week pottery courses with us. If you have prior experience in ceramics and feel confident working independently, you may be eligible without taking classes—just reach out using the form below to us to discuss!
