If you’re looking for a space to host an art, craft, or other learning event, renting our learning space is an excellent option. The space has been designed with an educational purpose in mind. We have two options for rental. Contact us for options, pricing, and availability.

  • Rent the space for a one-time engagement. Capacity is up to 16 persons.
  • Rent the space for a class series. Capacity is 8 persons.

Let Art Space help you create art. Whether you need a space to work, a pottery wheel to practice throwing, or a place to fire pottery pieces (bisque, low, and mid-range glaze fires), we can help you out.

Studio Space Rental

We offer studio space rental on a daily basis. The studio offers two large work areas, 4 pottery wheels and a slab roller. Feel free to come in and work for an hour or the day. You can reserve your space now online with our book now button.

Glaze & Go

We now feature pottery that you can glaze and decorate yourself! You can choose from a tumbler, a mug, a bowl, or two different size plates. Glaze & Go is available daily on a walk-in basis, so you’re welcome to come in during our business hours and do some decorating on your own schedule. After you’ve painted your new piece, it will be fired in the kiln and the glaze will be permanently fused to your selected piece. Pickup will be approximately 7-10 days or less after drying and firing.

  • No registration is necessary (but it is good to check ahead if we have a class using the space).
  • No experience needed, apart from using a paint brush!
