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.
