Art Lab also provides enrichment experiences for visiting high school groups as well as classes, workshops, and internships for our educational partners, Emory & Henry College, Virginia Highlands Community College, and the College for Older Adults.
William King’s Art Lab offers open studios where artists can create studio art such as ceramics, printmaking, drawing, painting, mixed-media, and darkroom photography. If you’ve been trained on the equipment, you’re welcome to come in and work on your projects.
Studio session times include setup and cleanup, so users must plan accordingly. All participants must be trained on any equipment used and are responsible for their own expendable art supplies (clay is available for purchase).
To use our clay studio, we charge an additional separate cost of $40 per fire to use the kiln. Art Lab does not offer kiln rental for works made outside of our facilities. All works fired must be made with clay purchased from or approved by Art Lab.
To discuss the possibility of piggybacking a firing with a few small pieces in the kiln, or to reserve a day slot, schedule a studio training and orientation session, or set up an interview to apply to be a volunteer monitor, call 276.628.5005, ext. 123 or email asalyer@wkmuseum.org.
Reservations are required 48 hours in advance.

Family or friends coming into town? Have a birthday party coming up? Special project in mind? Can’t find what you want on the schedule? You can schedule one-day workshops with us to create unique works in clay, printmaking, or mixed media. For clay, beginner wheel throwing is typically not available for this private class as projects cannot be completed at the beginner level of wheel throwing within this time frame.
Minimum 2 participants, maximum 12. Availability varies based on staff schedules.
