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 28 Community Artists at a time and as of April 2018, we have two spaces available. 

If you are interested in the community artist program, please fill out this brief questionnaire.
