Hello all,
We will be able to reopen our doors on Monday July 20th, 2020 as long as our activities take place outdoors at reduced capacity. Therefore our new term which runs from August 3rd until September 27th will take place outdoors in the rear of the studio. The classes will be rain or shine and there is a canopy to protect students in case of inclement weather. Read on for more new changes.
Students will have decreased open studio time and must sign up for wheel practice time and glazing time separately with weekly restrictions. Those weekly restrictions will be one open studio shift per week for 2.5 hours.
There will be strict cleaning and disinfecting protocols as well as a mask requirement at all times inside and in the garden as well as the use of gloves when glazing.
Students now much purchase and manage their own clay bodies and tools. The studio will not provide tools, clay or shared items. We will still have one time use towels, disinfecting wipes, glazes and buckets for students.
We are working outside and the studio will only be used for the bathroom and accessing work/clay/tools from shelves, we will not be cleaning up using the indoor sink, we will use a bucket of water and then disinfect.
Each student will have their own personal shelf where they can store their buckets, sponges, etc.
Classes are at reduced capacity to ensure each person has at least 6’ between themselves and the next student.
If working outside is a problem for you, please inquire about a membership option.
