This is the smallest of the three free lists, and honestly so: free tuition is rare, because somebody has to pay for the clay. Most of what lands here comes from museums running open studio sessions, parks departments running arts and crafts, and studios opening a community night. If a paid studio offers a free taster we list it, and we say when the free part is only the admission.
