Open Studio and membership come after the basics
Open Studio is independent practice, not a beginner lesson.
New potters should start with a class or workshop. Studio booking requires an active membership or eligible student studio access, and your chosen slot must fall within the dates covered by that access.
See how studio access worksMembership is not automatic or unrestricted access.
Use the membership information and booking pages to confirm eligibility, access dates, available studio slots, and current terms before purchasing or booking.
Compare class + studio pathsGetting here from Guelph
Typical drive: 30–40 minutes (about 37 km). From Guelph, take Hwy 6 south through Morriston, continue past the 401 to Dundas St E (Hwy 5), then west into the Waterdown core.
The studio sits just off Hwy 6, so the Guelph run is a single road nearly door-to-door.
