We will learn lots of new skills in ceramics - but the first one is that we all need to clean up after our selves and then also go over the room. We each will get a job.

HOW TO CLEAN IN THE CERAMICS ROOM

for these and other questions let's review the classroom covenant and the documents page tabs.

step one - Turn in your packets

Presentations will start very soon after the bell. Find your project and pay polite attention to our presenters!

The glaze did not run last night so we have nothing to grade - SO, we'll finish cleaning. Also last day to put glaze on bisque or fix rejected projects. They are all on the table. Nothing should be left in the glaze room.
Everyone should have their lockers just about emptied.

Everyone see me for a job, BUT all surfaces need to washed. DO NOT waste your time re-washing things that are already clean like table tops... PLEASE DO NOT was windows.

The wheels still need washing as do the large buckets, inside of cabinets, chairs, tools, some rings, batts, batt shelves, wire racks.... REMEMBER the point of washing is to get rid of dust.

REMEMBER to get your work slip signed.
