Craft Center Studios
From a black and white darkroom to a bike repair facility, the Crafts Center’s studios serve as both learning laboratories and “playgrounds,” engaging ever-curious minds. The Crafts Center houses eight studios: Mixed Media, Clay, Fiber, Glass, Jewelry/Metals, Lapidary, Photography, and Wood. View each studio page for more information

IFirst-time users must complete an orientation before purchasing a membership. Those deemed to have insufficient experience/knowledge to work independently in the studio may be required to take an introductory level class in order to obtain a studio pass.Membership to the Crafts Center entitles members full access to special events and their studio of choice during open hours and when a class is not in session. (The Center’s schedule runs on the official NC State University schedule.) Studio access may be limited or unavailable during class times.
