A Volunteer Day at Ceramics


Last night, we had a team of 8 volunteers helping and we got A LOT done:

  • we cleaned the proverbial clay traps: They are actually a lot less scary than they sound. The good news is that we now have quite a team of people that knows what to do (and what not)
  • We washed aprons in the Washing Tree
  • We disassembled the recycling station and cleaned the area
  • We did a last round of clay recycling by putting the wet clay to dry on the hardy boards
  • We cut to size the last pegboards, which means they are ready to hang at the tools stations
  • We underglazed some of the new test tiles
  • We cleaned all the tables and reorganized wood boards
  • We washed the throwing wheels tables - which was just in time because today we’ve received the new two wheels, and we now have 8 of them!
  • We did a thorough cleaning of floors and put things in their respective places

I personally came out of it exhausted, but energized!

It’s cool to work as a team because we get a lot done and talking and laughing makes the work feel lighter.

I’m tagging some of those of you I know the handle, please tag those that you know that are not mentioned: @samiamdam @jade @YellowEng

Y’all did an amazing job! I came in right after and everything was so clean– it even smelled fresh in there haha. A new member that joined on Saturday came in shortly after me and asked what was different about the space, and I told her “It’s clean!” :laughing:
