Ceramics Workspace

Who Is It For?

The Ceramics Open Studio is intended for experienced ceramicists and for students who have completed the Beginners’ Course in Hand-building and/or Wheel Throwing and are able to work independently in the studio.

I (Yvonne) am available during studio hours to answer questions about the workspace and provide quick technical support. For more in-depth learning, I offer separate workshops and courses.

Open studio sessions are available to both hand-builders and wheel throwers.

Important Requirements

Participants should be able to:

  • Wedge clay, center (reasonably well), pull, and shape on the wheel.

  • Work safely—both for yourself and for the studio environment.

  • Glaze and properly prepare your work for firing.

  • Wrap your pieces correctly to prevent drying out.

  • Recycle your own clay.

How Does It Work?

Independent Work

Find a spot at the large hand-building table or sit at a pottery wheel. After a short introduction to the studio rules and setup, you’re free to get started on your own projects.

Firing and Glazing

Firing is done at 1180°C – 1220°C. You’re welcome to use my studio brush-on glazes.

Cleaning Up

At the end of each session, please make sure your work area, floor, and tools are cleaned and left tidy for the next maker.
