Open Studios


Need extra time in the studio? Open Studios is a time for you to work and hone your abilities outside the structure of a class. At every open studio, there will be a studio technician present who is there to monitor.

Keep in mind that open studio does not include instruction, however, monitors will answer any questions to help you orientate yourself to the studio, location of tools/materials, glazes, and safety. Monitors can also be resources to discuss and critique work for those who are interested. Read below for more information.

Open Studios Termination
The BAC reserves the right to evaluate each student's skill level to determine if they have the necessary knowledge and skills needed to work independently in the ceramic studio. These include skills that can impact the kiln firings, and knowledge of best health and safety practices in the studio. If an evaluation by BAC faculty determines that the student does not possess the required skills needed, they will be asked to return to an instruction based class before signing up for additional open studio passes. The BAC also reserves the right to terminate an Open Studio student’s enrollment if they are not respecting the rules and regulations of the ceramic studio.
