Tuesday - March 11th, 2025


Important Things to Know!

  1. The next Leadership Meeting will be on March 16th, from 1-2 pm!

  2. Sign up for Casey’s Weekly Centering Class. Meeting on Sunday mornings, stop in to practice centering and to get tips and tricks on how best to tackle learning wheel-throwing.

  3. Let us know if you plan to use the studio over spring break (3/22/25 through 3/30/25) - it is especially important this specific break, since our Alumni-in-Residence will be in the studio, likely running most of the firings, coordinating clay making, potentially glaze making, and some demos!

  4. Reminder about service hours! We are quickly approaching spring break and it is recommended that you complete 3 hours before then.  Sign up for shifts below! If you’d like to help with glazemaking, email Zoë Holland (zhol...@oberlin.edu).

Message from the nominator:

Zoë Holland appreciation! Always helpful, knowledgeable, witty, and a friend to all in the co-op. Taught intermediate pottery ExCo first semester that I miss a lot. So kind, so brave. Willing to sort through all the purge pots and that itself deserves a gold star of recognition. I love you Zoë!!
