STUDIO GUIDELINES
THE CLAY HANDS STUDIO IS A SAFE, RESPECTFUL, NON-JUDGEMENTAL CREATIVE SPACE TO SUPPORT THE INNATE CREATIVITY WITHIN US WHILE LEARNING A NEW SKILL AND PLAYING FREELY.
Elemental Disclaimer
We are working with the elements so patience is required when it comes to changeable weather patterns. We will do our best to always make sure your pots get through both firings safely and timeously but cannot take responsibility for any cracks, chips, broken clay items. Firing pots takes time, please be patient.
Ceramic Work
Work made in the Clay Hands studio belongs to the student. Please keep record of what you are making and put your name on each item. Items without names or uncollected after 3 months will be donated or repurposed.
Clay Hands cannot be held responsible for missing items, it is up to each student to keep tabs on pieces by ensuring their name is on it. If your work is not completed by the end of a term and you are not continuing to the next term you can arrange to do a drop-in class to finish work off in the next term. Items not completed or collected will be recycled or donated after 3 months.
Social Media
Respect and Social Media Guidelines
Let’s all work together to create a respectful and supportive atmosphere in the studio, including how we share on social media. Here’s what you need to know:
-
Please always ask for consent from fellow makers before sharing pictures of them or their work online.
-
Our teachers may document processes for the studio, but if your face or work is featured in a post, we will always seek your consent before sharing it on our main social media timelines and will give credit for your creative brilliance.
For Instagram/Facebook stories, which disappear after 24 hours, we’re unable to seek individual consent for every image. Instead, we ask for your blanket permission for the term to share images of you or your work in stories.
If you’re not comfortable with your face or work being included in stories, please let us know, and we’ll absolutely respect your wishes.
Thanks so much for helping us keep our space kind, considerate, and inspiring!
