General

1. We’ve put up our Christmas tree and are excited for this year’s ornament raffle! Please feel free to add an ornament to the tree from now until Christmas and sign the sheet with your name and shelf id. After that we’ll randomly draw a winner for this years fabulous prize! We’d like to offer up one of the bleecker bat systems that has been donated to the studio (I’ll clean it better!) or a bag of clay for those of you who may not want the system. After the draw we’ll hand out ornaments randomly to those who participated so you can all take home a new ornament from another member!

2. Also don’t forgot that the Holiday Sale is on 12/15! We want to see you all there so be sure to sign up for a table over on the “Services” tab here on Spaces. Even if you don’t sign…

Hello :) we are taking some photos of the studio and doing a mock party on Sunday 1-3. It shouldn’t affect much, the classroom will Be open instead of the room upfront. So it won’t change what is available, just where you are in the studio.

We want to have a tool/supply swap night! Before we schedule it we’d like to see what you guys think about it.

Firstly, we would probably not rank items by price but instead group them into categories with different color stickers. So you could swap a red sticker for a red sticker or two green stickers for a red sticker, something like that. Or we’re open to other ideas.

Also tell us about what items you’ve got! Unwanted glazes? Tools you just don’t use? Let us know.

Also a small bisque is out, it was mostly class pieces this time.

We’ve got two new pottery sale announcements for you all!

First up we have our second year at the Nashua YMCA on 11/9 for a community table event.

• We are going to try a new style of commission for the studio where instead of each member paying a portion of the entrance fee, you’ll be charged a higher percentage per piece. That way if you only sell a piece or two or only want to provide a couple pieces to sell, you won’t pay a big chunk towards the entrance fee up front. This will also include a capped price so if you do sell a ton of things we will stop adding up that part of the commission price once you reach $15.

• Because of this there will be a free sign up page in the Services tab here on Spaces that you can book. Then READ THE DESCRIPTION…

Glaze unloaded :) We have an exciting event you can participate in: our 5th Annual Potswap! You’ll be exchanging a piece of pottery Secret-Santa style. If you want to participate, please sign up by November 1st. On November 1st, you’ll get your assigned person, and then we ask that you gift your pot by December 14th.
