SPRING WEEK 6 – May 12

STUDIO BUSINESS
The Final Week of A-Section Classes
Our early-spring A-Section classes are now in their sixth and final week. Students who are not continuing into a B-section class should plan to bring all their work to the bisqueware drop off by the end of the week. Please plan appropriately with your final projects. Students who are not continuing into the B-section have a two-week glaze grace period, ending Saturday, May 24. Please make sure to clear and clean all work from your classroom shelves, as soon as next week’s class begins new students will need space for their work, pieces left behind will be discarded. 

The Wonders of Wooden Wareboards
The slight absorbency of our wooden wareboards helps fresh work to slowly dry when you are not here. Storing your work on wood not only saves valuable shelf space, it also helps your work be ready for trimming, carving, and further building. Do not store your work on plastic bats unless it is extremely difficult to move—tall vases, wide plates, large bowls. 80% of work should come off the bat the same day you make it.  

Pottery Advisory Committee
As mentioned during our last community town hall, we are excited to accept nominations for new Pottery Advisory Committee members. To learn more and nominate a community member please visit the Advisory Committee page on our website. Elections will take place in June.

Welcome GHP’s New Director
Let’s give a big GHP welcome to Caitlin Brown, GHP’s new Director. Caitlin holds an MFA and BFA in ceramics and has a wide-ranging background that includes studio operations, fabrication, arts administration, marketing, and a long-standing personal practice in clay. Students and faculty will have opportunities to say hi as she comes on board this spring. 

We also welcome Luiza Furia to the staff this week. Luiza, a student for the past several years, will finish the spring term as a Student Liaison at the West Village studio. Tiffany Satterly is moving on to pursue a number of artist residencies and other opportunities this month but will still be around teaching project workshops. We send her off with all good wishes and thanks for everything she has brought to the Pottery! Huzzah! 

Class Shelves
Please be sure you are moving your work through to firing and glazing to create room for yourself and fellow classmates on your shelf. Work should not be stored on other class shelves even if they aren’t full. There are dedicated overflow shelves in each classroom.   

A-Section Classes Wrap-Up
Our early-spring A-Section classes are now in the final two weeks. Students who are not continuing into a B-section class should plan to bring all their work to the bisqueware drop off by the end of the fifth class this week. Please plan appropriately with your final projects.

SPRING WEEK 3 – APRIL 21

STUDIO BUSINESS
Greenware Must be Dry 
When you drop off your greenware to be bisqued, it must be bone dry. Bone dry means all of the water has evaporated all the way through to the very center of your clay. Bone dry pieces should feel room temperature to the touch—if it feels cool, it means water is still evaporating. This is for the safety of your piece and others’ pieces.  Please ask your teacher for more details.  

Glaze Studio Availability
Posted around the studio, you will find the schedule for the glaze studio this term. Unless classes are scheduled in that space, you can drop in to glaze any time. Reservations are not required, and you do not need to register. If a class has the space reserved, YOU MUST check with the instructor for permission before working.  

Finished Work Discard Date
All of the cone 6 glaze work from winter term has been fired. Please take your projects home before Sunday, May 4 at 6:00 p.m. This work will be marked with a sticker and any remaining work will be discarded on May 5. 

Cleanliness? You’ll Find it is Next to Godliness
Proper clean-up is critical to maintaining a healthy community ceramics studio. Breathing in dry clay is a health risk so it is important that everyone follows cleaning protocols. Here are our guiding tenets for cleaning:  

  • Students must clean their tools and workspace after every class or studio/glaze session.  
  • Every time you clean up, use a wet sponge or mop. Never sweep, scrape, blow clay dust, or use paper towels.  
  • Wipe down all surfaces at least twice with a clean sponge in order to remove clay and glaze residue. 
  • For your first pass, bring a bucket of clean water to your wheel or workspace to clean the area and your tools. 
  • Keep clay off the floors—trimmings, particles, and chunks. Clay or glaze on the floor gets spread throughout the building and becomes airborne with every step. Use a mop or sponge to clean up any splashes or trimmings. 
  • Help yourself and others by leaving the studio cleaner than you found it—a clean studio is a happy studio.

WINTER WEEK 12 – March 24

STUDIO BUSINESS
Shine, Shine, Shine
On the last day of your class, we ask that all wheel throwers deep clean your wheel, splash pan, and stool; handbuilders please each choose one community supply (e.g. sort and fold canvas, wipe down the rolling pin shelf, or clean the dried clay off of the threads of a slip container so that it closes smoothly). Every tiny effort makes for a better studio experience for all.   

End of Term Business 

  • Glaze, glaze, glaze! The kilns stay on over the break. Please focus on glazing during the last week of class. 
  • As we come to the final week of the term, we encourage you to wrap up all work in progress. If you are unable to finish a piece before the end of the term and ONLY if you are returning next semester, clearly label it with your NAME and SPRING 2025 with the orange tape provided in the classrooms. Any greenware pieces found unlabeled over break will be reclaimed, no exceptions. Staff will be working hard during the break to prepare the studio for the next term.  
  • Check your firing log through the self-measuring system and settle any unpaid balances. 
  • Clear anything unwanted from your class shelves, and bring your tools home during the break or they will be donated to the studio.  
  • If you were unable to glaze all of your pieces during this term, you can come in during the first two weeks of the next term to glaze any remaining work, even if you are not enrolled in a winter term class. This ‘glaze grace period’ will run from April 7 to April 20.  

We Want to Hear from You! 

We are sending two very important surveys this week—one will ask about your hopes and dreams for summer term. Please note that it is also important to respond if you do not plan on taking regular weekly classes with us. You may also get some hints about special events, topics, and directions towards which we are reaching…  

The other survey will be our regular end-of-term survey. Your feedback is important to the future of our programming and we thank you in advance for your time.  

It’s Everywhere You Want To Be 

Did you know you can use the self-service measuring system on your phone? QR codes are located around the studios to access the website, and make sure you are printing to the correct location. Avoid the crowd at the iPad – measure from your workstation!
