*** Clay and glaze dust is harmful if inhaled on a regular basis. Keeping clay dust at a minimum is really really important! Don't flick a dry paintbrush, or blow clay/glaze dust off of your pots. Any action that may result in air-born particles must be avoided. If you feel that things are getting a bit dusty while you are working, please use the spray bottles provided and wipe up any clay/glaze messes with a wet cloth or sponge.

• If you use a tool, please wash it and put it away when you're finished with it. If you use a piece of equipment, please make sure it's clean and ready for the next person when you are done.

• If you aren't using it, keep clay & soft clay scraps wrapped in plastic at all times so that it can more easily re-used or re-cycled.

• Please mark every single piece of pottery that you create with your name or initials (trust me, it get's confusing after everything's been fired.). Keeping a list or snapping a picture of the things that you make is very highly recommended!!!

• Please Don't handle other peoples work, unless they give you permission to do so. Projects that are in the "bone-dry" state are especially brittle & as fragile as a piece of chalk! never lift an un-fired piece up by the handle or the rim. Even a bisqued piece should be handled with extra care. Once fully fired, ceramic pieces will be much stronger.
