On the garden level, the 2100 square foot community ceramics studio accommodates 50 ceramic artists that are allotted one 2’ x 4’ x 14” shelf each for their personal work and tools. Studio access is designed for experienced artists and makers who have the skills necessary to bring their ideas to fruition without instruction, and who either know how to load and fire kilns or are ready and interested in learning those skills. We are structured so that people transitioning from classroom situations can learn the complete ceramics process, from making through firing. And, we are set up for artists that already have that knowledge or who need more space or equipment than their home studio allows.

The studio equipment is shared with ceramic artists renting private spaces. Equipment available includes 9 potter’s wheels, two slab rollers, an extruder, 5 cone six electric kilns, spray booth, 10 shop glazes, glaze mixing area and glazing area. While members work independently and fire their own work, we provide technical support to those that need to learn kiln loading and firing and glaze mixing. We are also available to answer ceramics related questions. A minimum 6-month, renewable lease is available with access to the studio from 8 am - 10 pm, seven days a week.
