We offer open studio opportunities for students and our community to utilize our facilities and equipment outside of class time. This includes wheel-throwing, hand-building, and glazing. Our studio capacity is limited to 10 people per session. Scroll down below for more information or to buy clay, purchase a tool kit, or book a kiln firing.

Studio Time

Open Studio Pass Package

As of June 2024, Open Studio cubby rental subscriptions are no longer available. Berkshire Art Center has created an Open Studio Pass package, which includes Open Studio access and a cubby rental for one price for an 8 week period of time on a first come, first serve sign up basis. This pass does not include firing fees or use of glazes.

Please note this pass package is meant for those who only want to do Open Studio independently and are not enrolling in a class. Students enrolled in classes do not need to purchase this package and instead will receive an email after their first day of class with a unique coupon code and the calendar link to sign up for Open Studio.

No prorated Open Studio passes are available and drop-in Open Studio use is not currently available at this time.
