Rules & Responsibilities
-
1.) Remove any debris from the sink screens.
2.) Decant the water in the buckets on the floor and in the sink, as well as any water left in the mop buckets
-
Make sure to keep your shelf area clean. Wipe down the outside cloth when it gets dirty. Pass the mop under your ware and clay shelf.
Rinse the glaze mats after usage. Place the extra stainless steel bowl by the red recycle bowl in the sink to catch the glaze runoff. Decant into the red recycle bowl first if necessary.
If your shelf is full, you must glaze and stop producing to keep the rotation of the firing in sequence.
The last person to mop is to decant mop water into the sink and the dirtiest water from it into the floor buckets.
-
Check that all wheels are turned off.
Check that the air conditioning is turned off.
Check that all doors are locked and windows are closed.
Check that all equipment is in the proper places, tables and counters are wiped, and glaze bins are covered.
Turn off the lights except for the one by the entrance to the door.

Wheels and work tables are first come first serve.
Clean-Up is Essential: Cleaning is part of every pass and open studio session. Please set aside at least 30 minutes for cleanup, especially if you’ve used a wheel..
Creative Community: Sharing ideas, techniques, and tips is encouraged! However, offer feedback only when requested—keep the studio a supportive and inspiring space.
-
Shared Audio Devices: Be mindful and seek group consensus when using the radio, speakers, or Chromecast on the TV.
Keep Calls Considerate: For long or loud conversations, step outside or to the back to minimize distractions.
Use Headphones for Media: Watching instructional videos? Use headphones to keep the space quiet for others.
Respect Headphone Use: If someone has headphones on, they’re likely focused on their work—don’t take it personally if they’re not engaging.
