With the introduction of Phase One, we are going to offer open studio beginning this coming Thursday morning, May 28th at 10:00 AM. You may come in for a two-hour shift provided that no more than five (5) people are doing hand building; four (4) people on the wheels; and two (2) people glazing. Please do not try and stay beyond the two hours allowed so everyone gets a chance. There will be a signup sheet for you to sign and write down the time your arrived. You must be completely cleaned up by 2:30 PM so that the studio can close at 3:00 PM. This closure will be strictly enforced.

This is just a trial run to see how well we do without assigned shifts. Please be respectful of the monitors and be sure to follow the new procedure for cleaning the bats. It is not just a suggestion.

Should you arrive and find out that all the slots are taken please ask the monitor when the next person is scheduled to be done and leave to return another time if the wait is too long.

This is going to require some adjustment for everyone, but we are a resourceful and respectful group of artists and I feel confident we can make this work.I personally want to thank all of you for your cooperation and patience with us as we stumbled through this challenging time. Also, I was very impressed with all of the great suggestions presented Thursday. You’re a great group and we are very fortunate to have you as patrons.

Thank you for your patience,
Roger Williams, Executive Director
