A huge thank you to the students from Assumption High School who spent part of their Community Service Day with us last Wednesday!

This amazing group worked hard spreading bark throughout our back patio area and helped make the space look refreshed and welcoming for all of the visitors, students, artists, and families who use it throughout the year.

We truly appreciate your willingness to give back to the community and help support the arts. Thank you for your hard work, positive attitudes, and teamwork! 💚

What a way to kick off May at Olio! 🌿

Today, an incredible group of volunteers, board members, and staff rolled up their sleeves and tackled a long-overdue cleanup of our back lot. Armed with chainsaws, rakes, and gloves, they cleared years of brush and debris that had built up over time. We truly can’t express how much we appreciate the hard work, energy, and care that went into transforming the space.

At the same time, another crew was hard at work installing our brand new Olio signs out front... giving our home a fresh, welcoming look!

It’s been an inspiring start to the month, and we’re just getting started. We have so many fun and exciting things in store for the community, and we can’t wait to share more with you soon. 💛

Starting Tuesday, May 5, we’ll be introducing Open Pottery Punch Cards—a flexible and convenient way to enjoy time in the studio on your schedule.

Punch cards allow you to purchase a set number of open studio sessions upfront, then “punch in” each time you come to work independently in the pottery studio. It’s a great option for regular makers who want more freedom and consistency.
