Are you an experienced clay artist who needs a place to create and fire your work? Come to our hand-building open studio! This is not a beginner class and there is no instructor - participants must have previous hand-building experience and be able to work independently.
Cost for the 2 hour studio time is $15. Participants must purchase clay from us - no outside clay is permitted. Clay cost is $25 for 25 pounds. If you want us to fire your pieces at RRAC there is a firing cost of $5-$15 per piece (includes bisque and glaze), due at the time you leave your piece(s) to be fired. Please bring your own tools or you may purchase a set from us. Cost for tools is $15 per set.
Part of the process in hand-building is basic studio etiquette. Your class time includes not only hand-building, but also cleaning your work area and clay tools that were used. Clay is messy - leave your watches and rings at home. Please bring a towel to wipe your hands and wear an apron/clothes you can get dirty (clay does wash out). A clean studio is a healthy studio as clay dust can build up.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. NO WALK INS.
