STUDIO NOOKS

Studio Nooks are dedicated workspaces for ceramic artists who want a little more space, storage, and flexibility within our community ceramics studio. We have Open Studio hours six days a week, with the opportunity to become a key holder, so you can work on your own schedule and come in as often as you’d like.

STUDIO NOOK - $300/month

OPEN STUDIO

Open Studio is self-guided time available to anyone with an Open Studio membership, or to students currently enrolled in a multi-week ceramics class. You’ll have access to community tools, house glazes, and equipment including pottery wheels, a slab roller, and an extruder.

We have Open Studio hours six days a week, and there is no limit on how often you can drop in, so come as often as you’d like!

CLAY CLASSES

We offer a variety of ceramics classes in wheel-throwing, hand-building, and everything in between! All six and eight-week clay classes include:

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private lessons are available for youths, teens and adults looking to try wheel throwing or handbuilding for the first time, or to expand their existing knowledge of a technique. 

Cost is $150 for a ninety minute session and includes materials, instruction, glazing, and firing. We can accommodate one, two, or three people for a private lesson.

Private lessons are available by appointment, and require a week of lead time. Please email us to learn more!

GROUP EVENTS

Let your next birthday, celebration, or work retreat be a creative endeavor! You can try your hand at wheel throwing, or create your own handbuilt pieces - popular projects include vases, plant pots, lidded jars, and candle luminaries!

We can accommodate groups of 4 to 10 people for 90 minutes of creativity and connection. The cost is $55 per person, which includes all materials, instruction, glazing, and firing your finished pieces. Private parties are available for people of all ages and no experience is necessary!

Group bookings are available by appointment, and require a week of lead time. Email us to learn more!

OUR CLAY BODIES

  • Close-up of a round, textured, beige-colored biscuit with a fluted edge and a spiral pattern on top.

    240 WHITE STONEWARE

  • Close-up of a spiral-shaped cookie with black and white sprinkles.

    112 SPECKLED BROWN

  • A close-up of a round, scalloped-edge, cinnamon-colored, sugar-coated baked good, possibly a sweet pastry or cookie, with a textured surface.

    308 BROOKLYN RED

Fall Kill stocks three clay bodies: Standard 240 white stoneware, Standard 112 speckled brown, and Standard 308 Brooklyn red. The white stoneware is our smoothest clay, well suited to throwing on the wheel. Speckled brown is great for both handbuilding and throwing, and Brooklyn red contains the most grog, so it is our best handbuilding clay.

Fresh clay is $19 for a 25-pound bag; reclaimed clay is $7 for a 10-pound bag, subject to availability.

Firing fees are $0.06 per cubic inch, typically averaging between $3 to $5 for objects of mug size.

VOLUNTEER

We are always looking to add volunteers to our team of Open Studio Assistants. Open Studio Assistants are clay enthusiasts who volunteer once a week for a four hour shift. In exchange you receive a shelf, unlimited access to Open Studio, and two free classes annually. For more information please email Eric.
