Open Studio Membership
A New Chapter in Your Pottery Journey
We're thrilled to introduce our Monthly Open Studio Membership program, designed for passionate potters ready to spread their creative wings! This flexible membership option gives intermediate and advanced ceramicists the freedom to work independently while still having access to our supportive community and beautiful studio space.
Is This Membership Right for You?
Our Open Studio Membership is perfect for dedicated potters (ages 18 and older) who have completed at least three 6-week sessions at Gumbo Limbo Pottery (or have equivalent experience elsewhere) and feel confident working independently. If you're ready to develop your own creative practice while still having access to expert guidance when needed, this program is designed with you in mind.
