Our open studio hours:
There are no open studio hours on Thursday. Saturday open studio hours begin at noon with the exception of one Saturday a month, when the Try It Once on the Wheel class meets from 1:00 to 2:30 pm. Check our class schedule for the date of this class. Please be aware that these hours may change depending on class schedules.
Our studio doors will be closed from August 1 through September 2 while we take a break to recharge our creative batteries and do our summer studio cleanup so we can get off to a fast start when we return.
Our summer break schedule:
During the break, the studio will be open to Porcelain members and students enrolled in the Summer Studio Practice.
If you're an intermediate or advanced student, you can sign up for our 7-week Summer Studio Practice that runs from July 20 to September 7. As a participant, you will have access to work in the studio 24/7, spending as much time as you like honing the skills you've learned in classes. It's your opportunity to keep working between our summer and fall terms. Learn more here.
Our Annual Holiday Show and Sale is a time we look forward to all year.
