    ✸ Work Pick Up ✸

    Look out for a pick up email when your class work is ready for pick up! Then drop in anytime during our open hours.

    Remember: We only hold on to finished work for 2 months, and then it gets tossed. Make sure to pop in as soon as you get that email~

    ✸ Weekly Day Pass & Pick Up Hours: ✸

  • The Digs does NOT have walk in or open studio hours.

    If you would like additional work time outside of your class sessions, we have Day Pass hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The Day Pass is also great for someone wanting studio time without a long term commitment.

  • One-Day Workshops are a great way to get started!

    We also offer Beginner Classes.

  • Each piece gets fired twice, and glazed with Digs staff.

    Turn around is 1-2 months.

    Students will receive an email when work is ready for pick up. We only hold work for 2 months.

  • Class work is available for pick up 4-6 weeks after your last session date. Please look out for an email from us notifying that your work is ready.

    See our application button above~

  • The Digs welcomes make-up sessions during our Day Pass hours: Saturdays and Sundays 12pm-5pm.

    Keep in mind this is personal work time, and the instructor will not be present for instruction. Most classes include work time during the sessions, so we recommend taking your make-up day after you've had a session or two with the instructor so you have a better idea on how to facilitate your own work time & project manage.

  • Studio Experience is required for Day Pass.

    We consider one class or a workshop studio experience!

  • The Digs strives to offer financially accessible programming.

    All workshops are sliding scale!

    Use the coupon codes in the workshop description to choose your pricing model.

  • Workshops are a one-day experience while classes are 4 weeks long.

  • The Digs is a 501c3 organization with the mission to support Chicagoland ceramic artists through studio access, community building, and professional opportunities. Your donation goes toward improving facilities, employing artists, and programming.
