Studio Policies
Health and Safety Rules
- Do not eat in the glaze area.
- Do not touch the kilns.
- Do not run in the studio.
- Silica dust is extremely dangerous. All measures possible should be taken to minimize the creation of excess clay dust throughout the studio.
- All dry sanding is to be done outside away from windows.
- Spills must be cleaned up immediately and staff must be informed of any accidents that could be unsafe.
- When applying oxide and stains and sponging off it is wise to wear rubber gloves. Some stains may be absorbed through the skin and the amount of colorant in stains is a much higher percentage than glaze. Copper, manganese dioxide, and other colorants may be absorbed through the skin with prolonged exposure.
