The decision to open a studio is one filled with excitement, dreams and of course, questions. Susan Rogers, Vice President of Sales and a Gare Owner, will counsel you on a one-to-one basis, to get you where you need to be - no matter where you are on your path.

Susan will help you:

  • Choose a location - Susan will give you important guidelines on what to consider when choosing a location.

  • Choosing your all-important Initial Supplies – What is the best-selling bisque, colors, brushes, kilns and other studio supplies that will get you up and running quickly? And by starting with Gare, you will receive a NEW STUDIO DISCOUNT.

  • Guidance - from writing a business plan to developing your marketing strategies to pricing for profitability.

In addition, we offer a comprehensive 2-day small group New Studio Training several times a year. In this small group setting you will have the undivided attention and industry knowledge of our Resident Artist and Vice President of Sales/Owner Susan Rogers. You’ll also have access to all members of the Gare Team. Ask us anything!

Our intensive 2-day training is hosted at our comfortable headquarters in Haverhill, MA and has been carefully designed and constantly updated to provide you with all the information you will need to successfully launch your studio.


Absolutely wonderful company. Went for new studio training with them and could not have had a better experience. A truly dedicated, caring and professional team.
