What You Need to Know
IN GENERAL:
When you sign up for a four-week session, we ask that you complete your four classes within five weeks. If during your four weeks you decide you want to keep going, you may extend your session for another consecutive four weeks for just $100 (rather than another 225.00). Also, if you are going to miss more than two weeks in a row, please let us know so we don’t assume you have left the class. If you do not attend your class in any given week, but do use Open Studio time on the following weekend, that Open Studio time will count as a class.
Eight week classes run consecutively, so if you miss a week, you can’t make it up by adding it at the end of the eight weeks. You can however, make it up within the session by taking advantage of Open Studio time, or coming in during another class time.
Your first day of class:
Please bring a large towel, or apron, and a small bucket to class. We have an assortment of basic studio tools which are available to everyone. You may of course bring your own tools, if you own any, (but do have your name or an identifying mark on each tool).
Each student will receive clay and one storage shelf. Please do not store any valuables on your shelf. If your work exceeds your shelf space, we will find extra space which you may use temporarily.
Last but not least:
If you are not returning for the following session of classes, please let us know and clean off your shelf and take your work, tools, and leftover clay home with you on your last day of class. Anything left behind on your shelf will be discarded or donated to the studio before the next term begins.
All work should be completed and drying on the greenware shelf by the second to last scheduled class so that it can be bisque fired in time for you to glaze during your last class. We will then glaze fire it for you and you will be notified when it’s ready to pick up. Work not picked up within 1 month of that notification will be donated to the Rage Room.
If you need to complete work after the last day of your class, you must do so within 2 weeks or that work will be discarded or donated to the Rage Room.
