Hi All,
Just wanted to post a quick message to the TAC Clay blog site and see who can still get messages on here. Please reply so we know who you are and if you want to continue receiving messages. If not, well, we will figure out how to remove you :(
So, We had a meeting today in the TAC ceramic studio.
We decided on open studio hours and who will cover them.
The open studio hours are as follows:
Tuesday Mornings 11-2pm - Meredith
Saturdays mornings 9-12pm - Lisa Berry and Susan McCalister
Sundays 2-5pm- Mindy and Susan McCalister
We discussed the possibility of doing more weekend hours by adding another three hour shift on Saturdays and Sundays... So we can think about that.
So that is exciting that the studio will be open during the weekend. There is also unmonitored studio access when the Center is open. From 10-5pm Monday-Thursday and Fridays 10-2pm, studio members are able to come in and use the studio as long as there is not a class running. The $35/month studio access fee is in effect for members and for non-memebrs its $15/day. or $12/day for members who just want to pay for a day use. A yearly membership is required for the $35/month studio access fee.
Also during the meeting we talked about studio glazes and keeping new glazes coming online. Adding more color range. Seems like right now there are a lot of brown white and green. We want more color and I couldn't agree more. We will work on that.
Reclaiming clay and having a system in place to use up what we have.
Setting up two places for the two different clays to be reclaimed outside with signs.
Other topics we discussed were: Monitor tasks, studio cleaning, organizing, sink cleaning, Kiln loading, unloading kilns, learning to mix glazes, training sessions, studio fees, keeping the studio running etc... It was a very productive meeting and feel like we know what we need to do to keep the studio a great place to come a work!
Thanks and Lets keep up the great work!
Best,
Dan
