Open Studio
Open Studio is a flexible and self-guided time for Craft Center users to work independently in our studios. After completing a studio orientation, you’ll have access to the space and equipment needed for your project during designated Open Studio hours.
Open Studio allows you to continue working on personal projects, refine skills learned in workshops, and explore new creative ideas in a supportive environment.

Studio Orientations
Orientations are an introduction to studio policies and operations and are for users who have prior experience with the studio practices and tools. Scheduled orientations are listed on each studio page and are available during the beginning of each academic term.
If you are unable to attend an orientation for the term, you may consider taking a Craft Center workshop that meets the orientation requirements or finding an orientation time in a future academic term. Workshops that qualify as an orientation specify so in the description and are typically four sessions.
Studio Pass
A Studio Pass grants UO faculty/staff and community members access to Open Studio. The pass is perfect for anyone who has completed the necessary orientations and training and is ready to use our tools and equipment independently.
Current fee-paying UO students do not need to purchase a Studio Pass.
To obtain a Studio Pass, follow these steps:
Step one: Have an account on MyEMU
Step two: Complete the required orientation
Each studio has an orientation session that covers safety, equipment use, and studio policies. You can sign up for these orientations by visiting
myemu.uoregon.edu. If orientations are full, you'll need to wait until more become available next term or take a workshop that qualifies as an orientation.
Step three: Purchase your pass
The Craft Center offers two options for Studio Passes: a Day Pass and a Term Pass.
Day Passes
A Day Pass can be purchased at our front desk. Studios are available on a first-come, first-served basis, unless closed for a workshop or event. A visit is a period of four consecutive hours per day in a single studio. You cannot move from studio to studio on the same Day Pass, and the pass is non-refundable.
