Open Studio Time at The Gathering Palette in Florence, Wisconsin is a three-hour creative drop-in that lets makers of all levels pick a medium and get to work. Located in Florence, Wisconsin, this lively studio offers a hands-on menu ranging from watercolor and acrylic painting to pottery, mosaics, jewelry, epoxy resin, candle making, textile crafts, and paint-your-own pottery. The studio space is laid out with dedicated stations: pottery wheels and a clay handbuilding bench (clay $5.00 per pound), a kiln and bisque shelves for painted pottery, a mosaic table with tile and grout, a pour station for acrylic pours and gallery-wrap canvases (studio pour fee applies), an epoxy table with PPE and waiver provided, a candle and jewelry bench, and a paver painting area that requires specialized paver pre-order 72 hours in advance. What makes this open studio special for Florence visitors is its breadth: you can shift mediums in a single afternoon, test an idea without committing to a full class, or finish a take-home piece the same day. The setup is practical and efficient - tools, basic supplies, and work surfaces are available on site while specialty items and gallery-grade materials carry separate fees. Typical offerings listed by the studio include mosaic projects, textile arts, greeting card and scrapbooking supplies, acrylic pour options, wood burning, floral arrangements, macramé, and resin work. Families, road-trippers, and people who want a creative warm-up before heading outdoors find the studio a convenient indoor option when weather or schedules shift. The space is also useful for trying a medium you've seen on social feeds without buying a home setup. Note the studio’s clear policy on certain services: clay handbuilding costs start at $5 per pound; epoxy resin requires a waiver and PPE; acrylic pours have additional studio fees for certain canvas sizes. Local insight: many visitors combine a studio session with outdoor time in Florence county—making art for cabin lodges or personal trail journals is a popular memento. The studio acts as a maker hub for the area by providing accessible tools and a place to experiment. Practical tips: pre-order specialty pavers if you want to paint them, budget for extra supply fees for resin and gallery-wrap pours, arrive early in busy seasons to claim a preferred station, and expect a roughly three-hour session window. Whether you want to finish a pottery piece, pour an acrylic canvas, or learn jewelry basics, this open studio makes hands-on creativity an easy, bookable part of a northern Wisconsin visit. Sessions typically run 3 to 3.5 hours, long enough to start and often finish intermediate projects. Reserve a spot online before visiting—walk-ins are possible but space and specialty stations fill quickly during holidays and weekends. Allow time for cleanup.
