Open Studio Details:

If you have taken at least three classes with me and need little to no assistance, you are welcome to schedule time for Open Studio space. If you have worked previously with other glass artists, have your own tools, and need little to no assistance in cutting and assembling your work, you are welcome to schedule time for Open Studio space.

Date and time do need to be arranged in advance.

GENERAL STUDIO POLICY

For questions related to damage, working areas, etc. I refer to the Bullseye Open Studio policies as they seem to be very fair and clear in the guidelines. I ask that you do the same. I have examples of glasswork fired in the various kilns, all using the same schedule. We can refer to these when you choose how you wish to fire your piece.

Please use best practices with personal safety and the safety of others.
