Open Studio Requirements & Policies
This is a semi-supervised, non-instructional open studio session. Participants must be able to work independently.
Experience Requirements
• Prior ceramics experience is required, preferably through a pottery class at WECC.
• Participants should be comfortable with basic techniques, including wheel throwing or hand building, and proper glaze application.
• If you are registering at the West End Pottery studio for the first time, the pottery manager will a knowledge assessment as an initial step in determining suitability for the program. This will be sent by email—please check your junk or spam folder.
• Final suitability may also be assessed during the first session. Participants who do not demonstrate the required level of experience will be asked to withdraw and will be refunded, with a recommendation to register in an instructional class instead.
