Registering for this course allows you access to your clay, our space and equipment, and shelf space for work-in-progress during the open studio hours on Thursdays in May from 1:00-7:00 p.m. Open studio is designed to allow students to work independently on their projects in our studio during the scheduled hours. 

Things to keep in mind when registering for this course: 

• Age Range: 15-Adult 
• Hand building and glaze work space is ample so students don't need a reservation to do those activities. Since we are limited to 8 available wheels, artists must make a reservation for pottery wheels. Please contact Laura Warner at LWarner@figgeartmuseum.org or call 309-738-8862 to reserve a wheel during Clay Open Studio.
