Open Studio Pass Guidelines 

As part of your Level 1, 2, or 3 series classes, you receive Open Studio Passes to support your practice outside of class time.

  • 4 & 5 week classes: no open studio passes

  • 6 week classes: one open studio pass

  • 8 week classes: two open studio passes

What Are Open Studio Passes?

Open Studio time is non-instructional access to the studio where you can:

  • Practice skills learned in class

  • Work on current projects

  • Make up for missed class time

Staff will be present for safety and general questions, but this is non-instructional time.

When Can I Use My Passes?

  • You may begin using passes after Week 3 of your class

  • Passes are valid through the end of your class and for one additional week after your final session to wrap up any projects.

Studio Access & Spaces

We have two spaces available:

1. Classroom Space

  • Preferred space for Open Studio use

  • Available when there are no classes taking place

2. Member Space

  • Available when the classroom is occupied

  • Requires a mini orientation with staff before your first use

First-Time Open Studio Visit

Before starting your first Open Studio session, you must:

  • Check in with staff at the front desk

  • Complete a brief mini-orientation covering:

    • Equipment use

    • Studio flow

    • Cleanup expectations

In Week 3, your instructor will provide:

  • A tour of the member studio space

  • An overview of Open Studio expectations

General Expectations

  • Follow all studio rules and safety guidelines

  • Clean tools, wheels, and your workspace after use

  • Label and store work in designated areas (improperly stored work may be discarded)

  • Respect shared equipment, space, and others in the studio

  • Use headphones for music

  • Studio tools, glazes, and equipment are for in-studio use only. No work may be taken home to complete.

  • Begin cleaning up at least 20 minutes before closing

  • Ask staff if you are unsure about any process or equipment

  • No guests are allowed to be present during your open studio time.
