Join us for Open Studio at Fire Escape's Mud on Main (423 N Main St), where participants may work independently on the pottery wheel or with handbuilding techniques.
Open Studio is not instructor-led.
Wheel Throwing Requirements:
Wheel throwing during Open Studio is limited to individuals who have prior wheel experience. Participants must have previously completed wheel instruction either through Mud on Main, a college course, or another formal ceramics program. Open Studio is not intended for first time wheel users and staff reserve the right to deny wheel use at their discretion.
Handbuiling:
Experience for handbuilding projects is highly recommended, though not required. Staff can provide brief instruction on pinch pots, coil building, and basic slab construction as time allows.
During Open Studio artists are welcome to create freely within staff discretion. Inspiration for projects can be found through previous classes, in-studio examples and online resources such as Pinterest.
You may arrive at any time during your scheduled time frame, but please be mindful of posted end times. We reserve the right to close up to one hour early if no participants are present.
Open Studio Pricing
- Studio Time: $6/hour (Your registration fee covers your first hour of studio time)
- Clay: $6/pound starting weight
- Firing Fees: $10/pound of final project weight (includes both bisque and glaze firing)
Mid-fire pieces will be dip glazed, either by staff or yourself depending on experience. You have the option to paint with the mid-fire glazes at the Fire Escape location (927 Oregon St) for an additional charge.
**Please note that we are a cashless venue and cannot provide change for cash transactions. We can only accept exact cash, card or digital payment. Thank you for understanding!**
