Studio Policy​

 

To our NEW STUDENT,

​

Welcome to the Clay Stood - We’re so glad you chose our studio to be your new creative hub - we can’t wait to see what you make. Before you begin your course with us, we have some information to fill you in on.

​

Course Info

 

*During the first two weeks of class, we request students only use the studio between 8am - 10pm. After the third class, students will have 24/7 access to the studio via a designated code. 

​

*4 weeks before the end of the course, students will have first dibs on registration for following courses before open enrollment goes public. If a student chooses to continue a course, they may keep work on their shelf and continue to make work through to the following course

 

Clean Up Procedures

 

We treat our studio like a National Forest, which means, leave no trace behind! Please ensure you clean your workspace(s) thoroughly - that means sponging down all surfaces of your wheel, cleaning and storing all tools in the correct place, and putting away your work on your student shelf. We also request that you clean the sink trap after use - clay deposits left behind clog our sinks and we'd like to keep communal elements working! 

 

Shelf Space

 

*Each new student is allotted a 16” x 2’ shelf to store their work. Clay is stored under the community work tables - All bags of clay must be labeled with your name and class date. 

 

 

Firing and Work Pick-Up

 

*All firings for students is 6¢ cubic inch. Students will be required to log their work for dimensions to determine pricing prior to glaze firing. 

​

*All work must be labeled with a maker's mark or initials. 

 

*Bisque or glaze fired work left after more than a month on the shelves will be discarded - we unfortunately don’t have the shelf capacity to store old work!

​

​Outside Material​

​

*No outside clay or glazes allowed during a student's first course with The Clay Stood. After completion of 1 course (wheel throwing or hand-building), students may be allowed to bring in outside clay and glazes, pending approval. We encourage everyone to find their creative voice through their chosen materials!
