Pottery Co-op: Weekly Email

[Pottery Co-op Oberlin]

Hi Potters, 

Here are your weekly updates and reminders and links. Please read!

BIPOC hours are from 5-6 pm on Saturdays: Please respect BIPOC hours, by planning to not be in the co-op during this time unless you identify as BIPOC. If you do not identify as BIPOC and are using this space before 5-6 pm on Saturday, you will be reminded before the hour starts. If you are still in the space at 5 pm, you will be kicked out. Please plan your clean up accordingly. 

HOURS REMINDER: Please keep in mind that you are required to complete 6 service hours by the end of the semester, failure to do so will result in you losing your membership to the co-op. Please sign up for hours sooner rather than later! And, as always, please fill out the form linked on the QR codes after completing shifts so we can track your hours. 

BISQUEWARE PURGE: Come grab your bisqueware pieces or they will be purged (donated to empty mugs) on Monday 11/17 at 9pm. 

SUNDAY EMPTY MUGS GLAZING SIGN UPS: Sign up to help glaze mugs for our Empty Mugs fundraiser this Tuesday 11/18 from 2-4pm. This will count toward your 6 hours!

S26 LEADERSHIP INTEREST FORM: If you're interested in joining the leadership team this spring, fill out this form.

GAS KILN UNLOADED: Shoutout to Jack for unloading the gas kiln; please come get your cone 10 pots. The electric kiln will be fired a few times this week as well, so please try to stay on top of collecting your pieces as they come out of the kilns. 

PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF: As always, a reminder to please clean up after yourself, so someone else doesn't have to. This includes putting the lids back on the glaze buckets, immediately washing any brushes with wax on them, picking up shavings and trimmings from the floor, returning tools to where they came from, wiping down surfaces, and throwing away your trash. 

CLAY-MAKING AND CLEANING SIGN-UPS:  Please sign up for shifts. And please do not edit the amount of cells in the spreadsheet or remove anyone who has signed up before you.
