Studio Rules:
-
Students must be 18 or older. We make some exceptions for younger students who enroll in the course with a parent (but please reach out to us before registering, if this is the case. You may email us at auburnclayarts@gmail.com).
-
Cone 10 clay only in the studio unless otherwise approved by a teacher. Lower fire clay may ruin our kiln and other student’s work.
-
Only pieces created during class or open studio time will be fired, unless otherwise arranged with the instructor.
-
Any work left behind for more than 30 days may be discarded without notice.
-
Do not sweep the floor or sand pieces inside, as this releases particulates in the air.
-
No loading, unloading, or otherwise handling the kilns by the students.
-
You must clean your space and put away all tools before leaving for the day.
Please recognize that pottery is an art, and clay can be a fickle beast; we cannot guarantee that your pieces will come out the way that you envision, or that they will survive all the stages of the making process.
