WINTER TERM 26: If you plan to use the co-op during Winter Term 2026, we need to know, so that we can get you swipe access and such. Please fill out this form.

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

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.

If you anticipate not being able to complete your hours, please email us. 

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. 

PERSONAL SHELF REQUEST FORM: Fill out this form to request a personal shelf. 

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.
