We rely on one another to respect the space and our fellow members
Your personal member code is not shared with anyone outside of the studio. Please ensure you are locking the door upon entering/exiting the studio. The access will be denied for unpaid memberships.
No outside clay or glaze until further notice. If outside clay or glaze is brought in, fired, and results in damage to the kiln or other work, the responsible party will be financially liable for repairs.
Be mindful during any ongoing lessons, by keeping your conversation to a respectful level.
Our day passes are a great opportunity to bring a friend or family member, please be accountable for your visitor by informing them of proper clean up and studio guidelines.
Do not take tools that are in people's personal storage area without asking permission, even if you intend to return it.
use your assigned shelf, please reframe from storing things on the ground or around the studio if its not in your personal shelf. unlabeled and misplaced things will result in a warning.
Please ensure your shelf is labeled with your name, as well as any tools or personal belongings.
Do not touch any person's work without their supervision. It can be hard to resist touching a beautiful mug, bowl etc. Greenware is extremely fragile and will break in your hand if mishandled.
Everyone that comes and uses the studio is requested to thoroughly clean up after yourselves; wedging table, work table, wheel, buckets, sponges/tools and around the wheel. Please return all tools to their proper space, 3 strikes will result in the cancellation of membership.
Please NO sweeping! This will only create a dust cloud that we want to avoid. Mopping only.
Help us conserve water and pipes by rinsing your things in the bucket sink. Feel free to fill up with clean water if needed.
Avoid working on bone dry work to prevent dust from going airborne. This will help keep our studio clean and free of dry clay particles that are responsible for silicosis (nobody wants that).
Please help keep the sink clean and studio tools organized.
Do not leave any clay or personal belongings in common areas.
We have a small fridge for foods and beverages, please ensure you are not leaving things to go bad.
