The Frank Harrison Ceramics Studio at the Massillon Museum will welcome adults who have previously studied ceramics at MassMu or another institution to participate in the open studio program on either Wednesdays or Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. No instruction is available, but participants may use the studio for any amount of time during the open hours. The number of registrants is limited to allow maximum availability of the pottery wheels and studio equipment.

 

Registration for the ceramics open studio in September is now being accepted. Contact Stephanie Toole, education and outreach manager, at 330-833-4061 x104.

 

The monthly fee is $50 ($40 per MassMu member). New participants are welcome as space permits. The fee includes use of tools, wheels, and glazes, as well as firing. Participants should purchase a 25-pound bag from the Museum for $25. (Outside clay must be approved by the ceramics studio manager.)

 

The Massillon Museum is grateful for operating support from the Ohio Arts Council, ArtsinStark, and the citizens of Massillon, as well as marketing support from Visit Canton. This open studio opportunity is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
