12 Golden RULES
1) Clay must be thoroughly covered up with PLASTIC
2) Keep your area clean, avoid clay dust
3) Clay must be no thicker than YOUR THUMB (approximately 1/4”) or HOLLOW it out!!
4) In order for clay to stick together it MUST be SCORED and SLIPPED together while the clay is wet or leather hard.
5) WEDGE clay to remove air bubbles, achieve uniform consistency, and to line up the particles of clay.
6) Things that can cause clay to EXPLODE during firing:
a) MOISTURE -- Make sure clay is completely dry before having it fired.
b) TRAPPED AIR -- don’t have any forms completely enclosed (create a hole or put needle holes so air can escape) and be sure to wedge clay properly.
7) Don't GLAZE the bottom of a piece. If glaze gets on the bottom, WIPE IT OFF!
8) Once clay has been FIRED it cannot be recycled.
9) Handle your project with CARE at all times. Never lift pots by the RIM or by the HANDLE until they’ve been fired.
10) NEVER TOUCH ANOTHER PERSON’S WORK EVEN IT LOOKS COOL!
11) Clay never leaves this room
12) Never, ever - throw clay
13) No ashtrays or smoking paraphernalia will be created. Use common sense and refrain from creating work that is related to drugs, sex, racism and/or violence. There are plenty of other ways to express who you are as an artist.
