Cleanliness

You are expected to entirely clean up after yourself. Work surfaces, tools, bats, buckets, stool and FLOOR surrounding your area. This is the only way to make practice time sustainable.

Practice times are uninstructed.

Please work on things you learned in class.

Studio staff will help with logistics, but they are not there to instruct.

Students are to manage their own workflow: throw, trim, glaze. Do not exceed the size of your wareboard where you keep your pots. Once work is trimmed and finished, it can be moved onto a class board.
