Open Studio Hours :
We host open studio hours for adult students + home memberships only. Open studio hours are self-guided and must be booked in advance as there is limited space. You can participate in the open studio as much as you want, as long as it's during our available hours. Please note that classes will be going on simultaneously as open studio in the opposite-making studio.
