it's all about the process

Art Process Studio has sprung from the collaborative vision of artists Gretchen Mottet and Blue Hesikx. We are working artists with a true passion for our own creative process and endeavor to share this journey with others. Our collective life-long experience and art mediums include:

Our daily work encompasses the creating, marketing, and sale of our own art, instructing others in a variety of mediums, and providing studio access and services to other artists and craftspeople.

Raku Firing Workshop - Second Saturdays

12-4pm - Every month on the Second Saturday

Learn about and participate in the Raku firing process.  We will cover the basics of glazing, kiln firing and reduction techniques.  This is as much a community-building experience as a learning event so we hope we all make new aquaintances here while explorering the firing process together.   Bring a small to medium sized bisqued clay piece to glaze and fire or glaze and fire a small vessel thrown by Gretchen.  Call ahead to reserve your space.

$15-$30 depending on size of work fired.
