Community Artists

Impress Yourself.
DCC is the only area studio that offers a Community Artist Program.  This program is designed to allow more advanced students the ability to work in the studio on their own. Wheel throwers, hand builders and sculptors are all encouraged to apply for this program.

We have spaces for nearly 60 Community Artists.   We are currently full but are maintaining a wait list.


To get on a list to become a community artist, please go here.
