Our open studio is for anyone who wants to take a creative break - with clay or colour.
Here you are free to do whatever you want: whether you paint, make pottery, glaze or continue working on your own projects - you decide. You can use the studio by the hour, drop in spontaneously or on a regular basis.

FAQs - Questions and answers about the open studio
Not obligatory, but a reservation secures your place!
Rather not - as there is little supervision, you should already have experience.
No, everything is available in the studio. But if you have special equipment, you are welcome to bring it with you.
Yes - if you are a member or have a PIE Open Card! In both cases, you can leave your unfinished works in our studio for a certain period of time. Unfortunately, storage is not possible without an Open Card or membership, as space is limited.
A complete firing process takes around 24 to 36 hours - including heating up, holding phase and cooling down. As we only fill the kiln when we have enough pieces, it can take a total of 2-4 weeks for your piece to be fully fired.
