Pottery Studio Rules

Pottery Studio Rules

• There is a designated area for clay for students who are in a class. Name, date and instructor must be written in marker on clay package. This is mandatory.
• While in wheel classes, long hair must be tied back & dangling jewelry removed. No open toe shoes are permitted in Raku class.
• Door leading to deck must be closed at all times.
• Please know you leave your clay at your own risk. This is a public studio and ACM is not responsible for missing clay.
• Shelves are exclusively provided for “work in progress” only. No personal storage on shelves please.
• After the class session, any clay left over is to be taken home by the student or it will be removed for recycling. Open Studio participants must take clay home with them.
• All tools, sponges, brushes, containers, etc. are to be washed and put back in designated places. This also applies for the plastic, newspapers, glazes and boards.  Keep countertops free from clutter.
• If you intend to take work in progress home you will need to bring in your own board for transport. Boards are not to leave the premises.
• Bisque and glazed pieces have to be picked up within 30 days of firing. After that, work will become the property of ACM.
• The tables on the deck are not for pottery drying or as a studio workspace.
• Please no sanding on deck & in studio. Sanding is done in raku area.
• Please check with the instructor before adding water to glazes.
• Be considerate of others sharing the studio and clean up after yourself. This includes tables, glazing area, lids on glaze buckets and wheels.
• You must sign in for open studio. You have one week of open studio time after a class ends to complete your project without a fee.
• As of January 1, 2017 only Phoenix clay provided by ACM will be permitted.
• Please be considerate of your fellow students. This is a creative space.

Thank You and Have Fun!
