Studio Rules - Production

General Guidelines

  • Firing is included for work done in out studio only. We do not have the capacity to support production potters 
  • Mark each piece with your own pottery stamp or initials 
  • If you would like to bring pieces created at home, please check with the tech or owner about firing services
  • Clay from outside of studio is not allowed unless explicitly approved in writing by owner
  • Unclaimed pieces must be picked up within 4 weeks or they will go to heaven (or hell)
  • If you are interested in selling your pieces please talk to Lisa about joining the rotating member gallery. 

An additional fee is applicable on any piece exceeding the following dimensions:

6-week session

  • 20-25 pieces with the maximal dimensions: 25cm/10 inch (diameter) by 15 cm/6 inch (height)

4-week session during the open studio/course

  • 15-20 pieces with the maximal dimensions: 25cm/10 inch (diameter) by 15 cm/6 inch (height)

If the maximum size of any piece exceeds 25 cm (diameter) by 15 cm (height) the work will not be fired. For pieces exceeding this size, a firing service charge is applicable. 

Damaged work

Pottery is a fickle beast. We are not responsible for work damaged by kiln explosions, accidents, other members, etc. Losing your work is an unfortnate part of the journey but we will allow brief cussing and temper tantrums when such accidents happen. 

 

Food Safety 

Not all glazes are food safe. Be sure to use only food safe glazes for the interior of items that will be in contact with food or drink. If you aren't sure, ask staff!
