Open Studio: Ideation & Process

Every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Saturday

1 PM - 4 PM

Free for Members | $5 Drop-in Fee for Non-Members


Are you passionate about the creative process and eager to bring your ideas to life? Do you wish we offered a class that fits your schedule or budget? Feeling stuck on a concept and unsure how to move forward? Or maybe you’re just tired of working alone in your studio?


Welcome to Open Studio!

In these open sessions, artists of all levels can develop their projects with the support of an experienced instructor. Get personalized guidance on ideation, material exploration, spatial composition, and conceptual development. Whether you’re sketching out ideas, constructing maquettes, or refining the final details of a piece, this space fosters experimentation, collaboration, and discovery.

Open Studio is all about the process—celebrating the iterative journey from concept to creation. Leave with fresh insights, a deeper connection to your work, and the momentum to bring your vision to life—all while building community and sharing knowledge with fellow artists.

What to Bring:

  • Any materials, sketches, or ideas for your project
  • Tools and mediums you’d like to work with (e.g., clay, wire, wood, textiles, etc.)
  • A mindset ready to explore, experiment, and embrace the unexpected


Note: AVA does not provide materials for Open Studio. Clay is available for purchase on-site.
