Studio Rental
Core Clay Co-operative is a little different from other studios in Cincinnati. We are slanted toward working artists. Our main goal is not to be the prettiest or the cleanest studio in the city, but to be the most encouraging of talent, creativity and marketing of artists work. Our aim is to have working experienced potters alongside sculptors, handbuilders, and beginners. We need beginners to keep a feeling of freshness and creativity which can get difficult to maintain for experienced people. We need intermediate potters to partipate in group shows and help set up the gallery. We need advanced artists to help teach the beginners and to create a standard for each other that challenges and inspires. Each level of skill contributes to the general atmosphere of the studio, and we value the contributions of all of our participants.
We have a 5 thousand square foot ceramics studio to be shared by Clay artists. We are located at 2533 Gilbert Ave in Walnut Hills. We staff the store and studio with Artists in residence. They are here to help offer artistic commentary and inspiration, but not to be maid service. Each artist is responsible for cleaning up after themselves and being an interesting member of the community.
There is a fenced and gated lot behind the building for parking and and we offer a couple of shows per year in our first floor gallery space. We have 15 wheels set up for use, one 1227 Skutt Kiln, one extruder, one slab roller and 12 large (25 gallon) containers of glaze, with 16 five gallon buckets of glaze.
We have several different packages set up depending on your needs.
