Update 1 October

Hey team,
I would like to thank all the individuals that came to the working bee! It is with your help that the club rooms remain in such a beautiful state. 
We really can not run without the volunteers who donate their time to keep the club going.
Thank you

Reminder
Always sign in when you come into the club, even if it is just to pick up work. 
DO NOT take any tools or equipment from the club home. They belong to the club and should stay in the club.

​Wood Firing
A few *Wood Firing ONLY* glazes have been mixed up for the wood firing with Halswell pottery. 
There is a Shino, Celadon and a flaming red slip. What are these? Well, give them a google. 

If you are interested in the wood firing on the 16th October please sign up here.
Wood firing glazes will be available on club evenings. If you can not make it to the club evenings, 
Please give me an email at anguchen96@gmail.com and we can sort out a time.

For more information about how to glaze, please see upcoming events on the club website.
All cone 7 glazes can be used in the wood firing, but do not expect it to come out as it would in the electric kiln.
​
Clay Bins
We no longer have clay bins. You are expected to bring a bucket for your clay, clay slopes and some water. A 10 litre bucket will normally do.
The club does not have the resources to process clay from 90 odd members. 

After doing your potter, clean the clay off the tools you have been using in some water and pour this into your bucket.
If they are personal tools, these can be simply placed into your bucket for cleaning when you get home. 

Remove most of the clay from your workstation with the water from your bucket. Then wipe the work area once more with clean water which can go down the drain after.
