Open Studio at WaterWorks

Our facilities are available for use beyond our workshops and classes. Do you need more time to finish up class projects or dive more deeply into the material? Our Open Studio is a great way to build a stronger art practice and nurture our artist community.  

For a daily Open Studio fee, you are welcome to access some work spaces for use of tools and equipment. Students must have completed a course (excludes one-day workshops) in the particular studio area to ensure safe use of materials and equipment. Release and waiver forms as well as policy & procedures documents must be signed by clay and metalsmithing/jewelry students and any other specialty workshops and/or special events as deemed necessary. Each studio has their own schedule and policies. More information can be found on each studio’s particular rules on the enrollment module.
