The mission of the Craft Center is to support and promote the creative efforts in the arts by providing a dynamic environment, resources and programs in which people can foster their own creativity. The Center serves the novice as well as the experienced craftsperson and is open to student, staff, faculty and community members. Each term the Craft Center offers non-credit classes as well as concentrated workshops which are taught by local artists. A current listing can be found in our class schedule. Studio memberships are offered by the Craft Center for use of its studio space, power tools and hand tools.

Membership to OSU Craft Center provides you access to over 7000 square feet of studio space and a wealth of equipment and tools. The studio has five fully equipped craft areas: woodshop, darkroom, stained and hot glass, weaving/fiber, and ceramics studios. Memberships are non-refundable.
