STUDIO RULES

Welcome to L’Atelier! To create a safe, respectful, and inspiring environment for everyone, we kindly ask all members and guests to observe the following guidelines:


1. RESPECT THE SPACE AND OTHERS
Our studio is a shared creative sanctuary. Please keep common areas tidy and clean up after yourself. Be mindful of noise levels and respectful of fellow potters’ workspace and creations.

2. SAFETY FIRST
Your safety is our priority. Always follow proper safety procedures when handling tools, equipment, and materials. Please report any damaged equipment or hazards to a team member right away. If you're unsure how to use any equipment, please don’t hesitate to ask for assistance. We're always happy to guide you and ensure you're comfortable.

3. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT USAGE
We’re pleased to offer a range of tools and equipment for your use. Please handle them with care and return everything to its designated spot after use. We ask that you refrain from using any equipment you’re unfamiliar with until a team member provides guidance.

4. CLAY AND MATERIAL POLICIES
For consistency in firing and quality, we ask that only approved clays and materials be used in the studio. If you’d like to try something new, please consult with our team first!

5. SHARED STUDIO TIME
Be considerate when using shared areas and tools during busy times. Limit your time on equipment when others are waiting, and feel free to communicate openly with fellow members to coordinate shared usage.

6. RESPECT FOR ARTWORK
Admire, but don’t handle, others' creations unless you have permission. Each piece is an individual’s work and journey, and we’re all here to support and respect one another’s creative expression.

7. CLEAN-UP POLICY
A clean studio is a happy studio! Please leave your workspace as you found it, wiping down surfaces and clearing away any tools, clay, or debris. Please make sure not to forget tools and sponges in the reclaiming bins. Together, we can keep L’atelier a beautiful and welcoming place for all.

8. OPEN COMMUNICATION
If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us! We’re here to make your experience in the studio as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible.

Thank you for helping us maintain a positive, inspiring community where creativity can thrive. We’re so glad to have you with us at L’atelier.
