  • Yes! During your 4 week class you can sign up for open studio time to come in and practice outside of class. Open studio time is free and we encourage you to come in as much as you’d like!

  • We prioritize cleanliness for the safety and comfort of our students and members (and ourselves!) in a shared studio space.

    To keep the air fresh, we have a negative pressure air system that circulates new air in every fifteen minutes. We also keep things clean with daily mopping and twice annual deep cleans.

  • Chicago's numbering system is delightfully deceptive. Our official address is 2514 W. Armitage Ave. However, the entrance can be found at the back of the building, on Bingham St. (2615 W Armitage Ave).

    To make it even more difficult, Bingham is a one-way street headed south. We recommend turning north on Stave and looping around via the alleyway to get to Bingham.

  • While we encourage you to try to make it to all of your classes, sometimes life gets in the way. Open studio is the best option for making up missed class time.

  • Unfortunately, in order to keep up with our firing schedule for classes and workshops, we are unable to fire any outside work.
