New area = New Orginization
Glaze Kanban and a definition of “low” 2in

C&C
101
Need more trainers so each session can cover more things. It’s not unusual to have a 2-to-3-hour training for a new area (ex. Lasers, woodshop, etc.)
Need more coverage of how to glaze to reduce errors in glaze process.
Review glaze rejection sheets so people know what not to do.
How to turn on the lights
How to join the Discord
How to reclaim clay (this may be better covered in a separate training)
6) Kiln and Cleaning
Kiln Kam: the best! Yay!
Glaze rejection sheets
Big kiln is broken
7) Creating “Lead” Roles
Do we want them?
*need description of each role*
Kiln Lead
Training Lead (for consistency between trainers/scheduling)
Glaze mixing Lead
Clay Mixing Lead
General Maintenance/SID Lead
8) Proposed Topics
Is this frequency good? yes
bisque/glaze purgatory done after each Conclave.
Clearer policy for when to take/pay for your pieces.
Consequences for chronic abandoners?
Next bisque/glaze purge will be at March SID. Notification on Discord, email, and signs.
Robot Syrup: add more water to recipe. Make a label that it’s for inside of your piece only.
New clay
Phase out raku clay
New order of red clay
New grey clay will eventually replace raku
Next Conclave: May 18th at 1pm
