Attendees must register for each day they plan to attend After-Hours Open Studios.

If there are no registrations within 24 hours, the After-Hours Open Studio will be cancelled.

These sessions are ideal for those who want dedicated time and space to create outside of a structured class. Shared studio resources include pottery wheels, hand-building tools, basic studio equipment, and glazing materials. Work will be fired in our kilns by our trained Studio Safety Monitors or Peoria Art Guild staff. *Work must have initials or a consistent unique marking on the bottom to be fired.

An experienced ceramics monitor will be present in the studio to assist with questions, ensure safe studio practices, and help maintain a clean, respectful workspace.

First-Time attendees will receive approximately 3 lbs of clay to begin immediately.

Additional clay must be purchased through the Guild via our Website, or through approved third-party sources. Purchased clay is available for pick-up only in the Ceramic Studio. 

Join our beginner-friendly workshop and discover the art of wheel throwing. Here's how it works:

1. Get Started: Grab an apron and get ready to create.

2. Choose your glaze: Select from 10 different glazes to personalize your piece.

3. Start throwing: With guidance every step of the way, learn the basics of centering clay and shaping a simple form. 

Students will create their own pieces based on the theme of the class. Our staff will handle glazing and firing, and the work will be ready to pick up within 2-4 weeks. 

Clay, glaze, and firing costs are all included in the price. The Peoria Art Guild provides all necessary tools and materials.

New to clay, or want to build a stronger foundation? Ceramics I introduces students to the two core techniques every ceramicist starts with: handbuilding and wheel throwing. By the end, students will have a working knowledge of both approaches and a body of finished pieces, including one larger sculptural piece as the final project.
