How it works

Coming to my hand building open studio in August 2022 is free when you use your own tools and materials.

There are shelves to store your work between open studios.

Open studio dates marked with a green circle below.

On September the 3rd we meet up at 10am to share our finished work and a potluck - bring your favorite appetizer, side dish or dessert.

When participating for free you would take your pieces to be fired in a kiln elsewhere, for instance at Seattle Pottery on Hanford Street.

To get your pieces fired here, please read below.

To be in the loop, please sign up to my email newsletter.

If I do not know you (yet), please go to my contact form and introduce yourself. Let's be friends! 

You are welcome to have your pieces fired in my kiln.

Each drop in with this access is $15.

Or pay $125 for the full month - up to 11 open studios.

This includes having your pieces bisqued and glaze fired to cone 5/6

Access to my tools (no wheel) and glazes. 

Your own shelf to store your work between open studios.
