Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to a First Friday open studio, 5 to 8 pm, at 12 N 3rd St, #5, and ask a member about making your first print. For a visit at another time, email byostudio.philly@gmail.com..
You can just show up.
What to expect
First Fridays run 5 to 8 pm. An October 2026 listing describes the evening as an open studio with collaborative making, so you can see the studio in use and join in with others. Visit costs are not listed, and visits at other times need an appointment.
Tips for your first visit
- For a visit outside First Fridays, email the studio first, since those visits are by appointment.
- Check the calendar page before you go, because the events listed there change.
- The studio is in Old City at 12 N 3rd St, #5. The pages do not give parking or transit details.
Newcomer welcome
Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The studio says it is happy to teach newcomers, has a Learn with us section for a first print, and opens First Fridays to the public. There is no set beginner class, and membership needs an application..
