Studio Rules and Procedures

Members are expected to follow club procedures and play a part in keeping the studio organized, clean and a pleasure to work in.

Our studio is a welcoming space. We keep it that way by *cleaning all work surfaces before leaving the studio, and washing and stowing any club tools or equipment we've used.

*Keeping the studio free of clay dust is a priority. Clay dust contains lung-damaging crystalline silica. Always clean up your work areas and never sand clay pieces indoors. All sanding must be done outdoors, away from others, while wearing a respirator mask.

Kiln Firing Procedures

Kiln-ready pieces should be placed in the kiln room in the clearly designated areas. Greenware should be placed in the "bisque" area for first firing and glazed pieces should be placed in the "glaze" area for second firing.

For a complete how-to on successful ceramic glazing and preparing your pieces for firing, read this helpful article: "How to prepare your pottery pieces for firing."

Please Don't Handle Others' Work ...

Unfired greenware is extremely delicate and can break with just a touch. The studio is meant to be a safe place for members to leave their works-in-progress.

ALSO, if you stop by the studio with visitors, please remind them to not handle others' work.

Sign-In Sheet

Please remember to sign in and out when you work in the studio. This helps us monitor studio usage and assists us in planning classes and group events.
