Extra claymaking added for this week + earning hours independently + purge... (POTTERY CO-OP S26: Extra Weekly Email Week 4)

Extra Claymaking:

We are going through clay so fast. If you're a night owl and/or have been using lots of clay recently, help us make clay tomorrow night at 10 pm - you can sign up here..

Hours Info:

We haven't explicitly said it for this semester, but one way you can earn hours on your own time is by making donations to empty mugs. Here's how it works:

• Every 10 pieces you make for Empty Mugs counts as 1 service hour
• Throw or sculpt your piece(s) - then sign it as MT or carve EMPTY MUGS on it somewhere
• Take a photo of each piece right before it’s bisque fired
• Take a photo and upload to this google form
• Take a look at the form and you'll see that you can upload pieces one at a time or all at once. If you enter them one at a time, the membership coordinators will keep a tally and once you reach ten pieces, it’s reflected in your hour count.

Another way is through independent cleanings. Please email us if you want to fill your hours this way, so we can send you a task list and instructions for reporting your hours properly.

Purge next Monday - and probably every Monday after..

We've been doing purges every Monday swapping between bisque and greenware ones. It seems to be working, so this'll likely continue for the rest of the semester.
