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 Hamilton
Typical drive: 15–25 minutes (about 15 km). From Hamilton, take Hwy 6 north from the 403 interchange and exit at Dundas St E (Hwy 5) toward the Waterdown core, then turn onto Main St S.
Waterdown is part of the City of Hamilton (Flamborough), so the studio is a Hamilton business — minutes from the West Hamilton/Hwy 403 corridor.
