Open Studio is your time at the bench.

This open work session is available to students who have previously taken a class at Meltdown Studio and want extra time to practice, refine skills, and keep projects moving forward. Open Studio takes place in our metalsmithing studio only, with access to the tools, equipment, and workspace you know and love.

Bring your own ideas, works in progress, or class projects and enjoy dedicated bench time in a creative, supportive environment. A staff member will be present to support a safe studio space and answer basic safety or equipment questions, but this is not guided instruction or private lesson time. Open Studio is designed for independent work, creative momentum, and the joy of making alongside other students.

Whether you’re polishing, soldering, setting stones, or simply building confidence through repetition, Open Studio is the perfect way to reinforce what you’ve learned and spend intentional time creating in community.

This booking is for one day pass. Open Studio hours are 10:00am to 4:00pm. You are welcome to stay as long or as little as you’d like during that time, but the fee is the same for the full day.
