Ceramics OPEN STUDIO

Open Studio: January 14 – February 18, 2027 (Winter Term)
Members receive health and safety orientation at each session

Ceramics Open Studio is for members of Craft NS only. You must have an active paid membership (maker or patron membership) in order to book Open Studio time. You must have previous experience working in a ceramics studio in order to safely work in the space independently. A Technician will be onsite to monitor the space, not to instruct.

Open Studio sessions are scheduled in 3-hour blocks: 1–4pm and 6–9pm on Thursdays. You are free to book as many times as you wish. Each 3-hour block costs $35. 

You can pay per session ($35), or pay per term ($250). Paying per term gives you access to 36 hours of studio time with $170 in savings vs. paying as you go.

You must purchase Cone 06 white stoneware clay reclaim within the studio. Outside clay is not permitted.

The Ceramics Studio facilities include:

• Cone 06 white stoneware clay reclaim (for purchase $15/10kg)
• Spectrum underglazes
• in-house mixed glazes
• various hand tools
• texturing tools
• slump molds
• 1 extruder
• 1 slab roller
• 8 throwing wheels
• kiln firings (run by Technician)
• 3 canvas-topped tables
• storage shelves

You are welcome to bring your own specialized hand tools, molds, and underglazes. You must seek permission from the Technician prior to bringing in any of your own glazes.
