    we are not a production studio.

    OPEN LEVEL

    open to those who have taken a pottery course in the past. you can request a refresher class at any time.

    guided studio time

    we’re here to help you out if you need assistance to a reasonable degree.

    open studio is especially helpful for new potters who have a grasp on concept but need help with execution. practice practice practice 🗝

    if we feel like we’re entering class territory, we’ll let you know. boundaries baby!

    we have clay available for purchase @ $25 per bag

    we are here making pots, selling pots, and teaching people about pots.

    our aim is to provide a space where people can gather, make work, and explore ideas in a living environment that nourishes creativity, with no upfront, month-long commitment required.

    sliding scale + exchange options

    dirty lizard studio is by and for ceramic artists, and we try to keep it accessible. please talk to us if you want to get back in the clay studio but are unable to swing the full cost. there’s always work to do here, and we would love the help. if you’d like to contribute hours in exchange for studio access, all exchanges will be equitable, and we will never exploit or take advantage of your kindness. we expect the same from you.
