2021-01-05 [Ceramics] MEETING MINUTES HH:MM Call to Order ---- ATTENDANCE April, Steve, Monika, Amanda, Amy, Olivia, Clark, Jennifer, Utopia, Margaret, Megan, Jason, Kris ---- Agenda Item 1: Slip Casting Table Per Amanda, according to Johnny and other long term members, no vote needed on moving or keeping the table. It takes up a lot of space, nobody has used it since its arrival. Utopia, Clark, and April think it is good to keep but move to storage for now. It will free up space for a wedging table ( built by Johnny). Amanda will ask infrastructure on relocating it to storage. Or placing it over in old ceramic area. ---- Agenda Item 2: Moving 2 Wheels back into new ceramic area Mentioned by Clark. Amanda..concerns of COVID, wait till February to make that decision. ------ Agenda Item 3: Selling of Clay Sell to new members only. Process of how this will work is still being thought out. So many options and good ideas. Charge for classes or donation? How much clay is being used in each class? Just 100 classes get to buy clay? Kris...each person in a class should get 5 pounds each, which basically is 1 full bag. Where does money go when bought? Into glaze fund box? Jason to look into paypal or square terminal. Monika will schedule her 100 classes for February, and charge a fee to see how it goes. Charging a fee will hopefully insure student show up for classes. ---------- Agenda Item 4: Ceramic wants and needs Amanda will bring up in February.... --------- Agenda Item 5: T-shirt slogans for fundraiser Amanda's suggestion..."SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POT DEALER". Clark and April snicker, but think it is awesome Other members to think up fun sayings for possible fundraiser. ------- Agenda Item 6: Test Tiles Christy suggestion...test tiles needed...who can help...Jennifer volunteered! Need to be bigger test tiles per Steve. ------ Agenda Item 7: Special Firings January 15th is the slow cool firing February 19th is a Cone 5 Firing Monika will talk to Christy Kaake regarding a luster/decal firing in February Utopia: please post on talk to give other members not at meeting a chance to get projects ready. Amanda: will also put in on event schedule for members to see ------ Agenda Item 8: Ceramic Area seems to be getting smaller Due to woodshop moving (at some point in the future) we will really need to think of all the equipment over in old ceramic area that will be moving over into new ceramic area. it obviously is not going to fit. Amanda will talk to Chuck and see if we can use small area next to ceramics. ------- Agenda 9: Member Appreciation THANK YOU to all the kiln team members who have made sure all members projects are getting fired, for taking time out of their days to load and unload, and never complaining or quitting. Y'all rock!! THANK YOU to all the teachers who continue to put up all the wonderful classes! Y'all rock too!! THANK YOU Monika for always buying our glazes!!! Thank you for taking the trip down to Trinity and having to go down 35E. You da best!! THANK YOU to Johnny for building the wedging table!!! And for always going the extra mile and making other equipment for our area. You da best also!! THANK YOU Julie for helping teachers get the spot cancelled in class back to normal so other members can sign up. Hopefully the calendar can get fixed so you won't have to do that. You da best as well!! ------- Agenda 10: Fixing canvas and glaze rack Steve and April will stretch the canvas back to taut. And will fix the glaze shelf so it does not fall off the wall. ------ Agenda 11: Extras Kiln link is set up and running. Paid subscription to see what the skutt kiln firings are up to and see their results. Purchases: sponges, handbuilding box items, cones, prizes for clean ups, diamond grinding discs. ---- HH:MM ADJOURNED at 7;35
