The craft center is a membership based program serving the OSU student population. Students may use the center during our open hours. Some studios may be occasionally reserved for groups. During class times, its specific studio is reserved for the class attendees. We strive to always have some spaces and activities open to students at all times.

Our instructors come to us with years of experience and practical knowledge. As such, instructors have the authority to assess the ability of member equipment operation, and if they deem them to be a safety hazard to themselves or others, administration has the right to restrict or revoke facilities use or membership.

The Craft Center program and studios are designed for use by amateur hobbyists; production work for the purpose of commercial enterprises are not compatible with our mission. Members working in this capacity may be asked to seek other venues.

In order to assure quality control and safety for our equipment, all clay must be purchased from the Craft Center so that we know what is going in the kilns and can fire it accordingly.
