About This Adventure
Join us for the Mid-Summer Open Studio Orientation, where you'll embark on a brief yet informative tour of the studio. This is your chance to familiarize yourself with the creative space before unleashing your artistic potential. Don’t miss this opportunity to kickstart your creative journey!
Members making large work, large quantities of work, delicate work, or work under strict deadlines are strongly encouraged to fire their own kilns. This orientation is for those BHCS South members who would like to sign out and fire their own kilns, and must complete an in-person kiln orientation and training with the Studio Technician. Please look through the Members Kiln Guide (linked below) before you attend kiln orientation.
