All Access & Extended Open Studio

Our New Home!!!

We are happy to announce our move to a new location. This session (Session 6) Marks the beginning of a new chapter for us!

This move comes with many changes and updates. Prices for all classes have increased to combat the rising rent price and costs of goods. This new building will provide a much more comfortable experience for our students and renters. Those who have been with us for a while know our battle with the kilns and our HVAC. This issue is now a thing of the past! The kilns will now have their own room and we regret to inform you that we will no longer offer a free sauna with our classes! 😁

We look forward to growing in this new space and offering more pottery adventures. 

-------------------------------------------------

We are also offering monthly studio rentals. A private space for you to work. Please email us for more information.

6 week Studio Access Pass for non students!

Extended Open Studio pass holders will have Up to 10 hrs a week of open studio access during posted open studio hours.

All Access Studio Pass holders will have access to the studio at ANY time, day or night, outside of classes and workshops

Open Studio Pass: Independent Pottery Time

The Open Studio Pass is perfect for potters who want flexible, independent access to the studio outside of class hours. Whether you’re continuing a project, practicing your technique, or simply enjoying quiet creative time, this pass gives you the space and freedom to work at your own pace in a fully equipped ceramics studio.

What’s Included:

  • Access to studio wheels, hand-building tables, tools, and communal glazes
  • 2 weeks of access to the studio at the end of the 6 weeks for finishing up pieces
  • Use of shared equipment: slab roller, extruder, wedging tables, etc.
  • Space to store your work-in-progress
  • Firing
  • 25lbs of clay
  • All costs for glazing and firing the 25lb bag of clay
  • You can purchase one additional bag of clay at $45 a bag. Cost includes firing

Important Notes:

  • Open Studio is non-instructional—ideal for those with prior experience
  • Clay must be purchased through the studio (outside clay not permitted)
  • All work must be made on-site and fired through the studio

Open studio times are

Wednesdays 1pm- 6pm

Fridays 4pm - 9pm

Saturdays 11am- 4pm

Sundays 11am - 4pm

There are 2 time slots for each open studio day. Signing up for open studio on a particular day and time guarantees you a wheel. It also helps to limit how many people are in the space at once. An email with more information about the pass and studio access will be emailed a purchase and a few days before the pass begins

You must purchase this pass to receive the code to register for open studio dates.

Be sure to wear old clothes or bring an apron and towel. Basic beginner pottery tools can be purchased here for $15. If you have any questions about the class, please email us at infodelorespottery@gmail.com

Students must be 18 years or older. Some exceptions can be made. Contact Delores with requests.
