Do not enter the studio if you are sick or was in contact with someone who has COVID-19 symptoms within 14 days. Cancel or reschedule.

Sanitize hands before using the studio. Wash hands to remove clay when you have finished.

Wear a mask and keep 6 ft apart from other users. Work in your assigned work area.

We will limit the number of studio users to allow 6 feet between each person, or group from the same household.

We will give studio users their own work area, water, and clay.

Avoid touching other users’ clay, water and tools.

Clean and sanitize any shared tools before handing over to someone else.

Before leaving, dump unused or leftover clay in the used-clay container and your ‘clay-water’ into the bucket.

One person (Rosemary) will hand out tools, set up work areas, divide and distribute clay.

• Use of pottery wheel

Do not touch clay and equipment while some one else is using the wheel.

Use your own water and container. After use, empty into the large clay-water bucket.

Tie back hair and remove scarves, wrist watch etc.

Turn off the electrical switch before cleaning.

After use, sanitize the wheel head and speed control switch (if the wheel has one) with sanitizing spray or wipes.

• Between studio days

Between studio days, we will:

• clean tools, equipment, work surfaces and floor;  
  • wear splash proof eye, nose and mouth protection, whilst disposing or processing used water;
  • dry out clay before reconditioning;
  • quarantine clay for 7 days.
