How To Get Trained

To use the Ceramics Area you MUST take the Ceramics 101 class, it takes about an hour-ish and covers how the studio is run, safety, and expectations. It is required to work in the studio outside of Cerveza & Ceramics on wednesdays. The best way to contact me is coming to a Tuesday Public meeting or C&C. If neither of those work for you Email is the next best way.
