Leisure Activities
Leisure Activities
The Art Center's ceramic, metals, photography and woodworking studios are open for students, Miami faculty and staff, and the community to use for leisure time pursuits. Hours of operation vary, but both daytime and evening studio times are normally available. Participants in Art Center activities must be at least 18 years old.
Knowledgeable monitors oversee each area to answer users' questions, but if you are a newcomer to an area and find you need detailed instruction, we suggest you sign up for one of our sprint courses.

Woodshop
Fully equipped shop Safety concerns dictate the following special conditions in the woodshop:All shop users must attend a safety orientation. These sessions last about an hour and are usually scheduled at the start of each semester. Enrollment in the woodworking sprint (ART170) satisfies the orientation requirement. Noise can be a major problem in the shop, particularly sound from the surface planer. For this reason, we ask that all lumber brought into the shop be surfaced planed elsewhere. Most lumber suppliers will gladly surface rough stock for a modest fee. |
