Do you...
prefer to work on your own? like to be creative without specific time restraints to complete a project or idea? want to improve your craft, but do not have space or materials at home? enjoy being creative and socially engaged with other creative individuals?
According to our Members, Art Students and our Community the answer to each of those questions is a resounding “YES”! And because we listen to you, we are offering two NEW creative opportunities, an Open Pottery Studio and an Open Crafting Studio at the Suffolk Center.
Our Policies + Procedures
Experienced potters may use our equipment and kilns for independent projects once they have taken a pottery class with us at the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts.
Open studio time can only be purchased through our box office. To do so, please contact us at 757.923.0003. Our box office is open from Tuesday through Friday, from 10 AM to 5 PM.
Though open studio time is purchased as a “class,” you are truly on your own! Use the class registration to purchase a Single Session or a Six-Session Ticket, each includes glazing and firing. Studio clay is not included, but available for purchase in 25 lb. blocks in advance.
All sessions and clay must be paid prior to attending the Open Studio.
Our fully equipped pottery studio will allow you to explore your creativity with this lovely hands-on medium. The studio has 8 wheels, a slab roller, an extruder, and many other tools for any throwing or hand-building project. Feel free to bring our own pottery tools if you need.
Skilled pottery instructors will be available to answer your questions or provide you with assistance.
The Open Pottery Studio is OPEN from 12:00 until 3:00 PM on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.
