These guidelines will be updated over time as issues and questions arise.

Studio Vibe

This space was created to grow community in Bay Ridge. Please bring your good energy and creative minds to this space.

General

Please be mindful of the cleanliness of the studio. As a partipcating member of the studio, you must clean your workstation and surrounding area. Please pay attention to any clay or water that has fallen on the floor.
Please leave the studio cleaner than you found it and use a wet sponge at all times to tidy up dry clay.
Please do not touch any work that is not yours.
Please do not dry sand any work in the studio. You are welcome to do so outside.If scraping your piece, please do so over a bucket of water.
Please be respectful of your class times and open studio times. If you are running late or will miss the class, please contact Katie via phone or email.

Glazes

Please keep glazes covered when not in use. Water from the glaze buckets can evaporate or contaminate one another with splashes.
Underglazes are not available for community use, please purchase your own if you would like to use them in the studio.

Phone use in the studio

Please use this time to detach from digital life and immerse yourself in creativity. There is a study done that a disruption during a concentrated period of time can take you 23 minutes to get that focus back . If you need to take a phone call please move into the hallway or go outside to do so.

Our studio is quite intimate and is really the only place where your hands are too dirty to use your phone all the time. While I realize that people would like to take videos of them doing awesome things, I ask that you only film yourself. Please do not film while in class with other students or while other students/members are around during open studio hours.
