Opening again on Monday

Hello potters, The weekend is about to begin. I know that many of you are sad that Play With Clay isn't on tomorrow but we are so close to re-opening! The team of builders, painters and plumbers from APS are working hard to get the finishing touches to the bathroom renovation completed before we welcome a birthday party workshop into the studio on Sunday morning. We are so excited about having a new wheelchair accessible bathroom. It's even more exciting than Term 3 beginning next week, alt...

Hey! The weekend is upon us - or almost for me - and it's time to chill out after a week's work. I'll be looking for a little escapism because there is just a whole lot going on in the world right now. I desperately need to tend to the garden to start clearing out some of the plants that went to seed long ago, preparing the space for next season's seedlings. Imagine, summer is nearing an end. If you've had a busy week and need some clay therapy, book in for tomorrow morning's Open Studio session...

We have some new members this year so it's a good time to go over a few of the rules for using the studio that are being overlooked by new and not-so-new members lately. As this is a shared space, all studio-users need to help us out a little to ensure everything is running smoothly. Cleaning up after yourself: this is not the responsibility of your tutor or WSP volunteers or staff. Blue cloths (slab roller) - these need to be rinsed out and hung on the clothes horse to dry after use. There...

Studio access and vaccine passes

Kia ora potters,I am writing just a brief update this week. It's been a long day. Our internet connection is intermittent and frequently timing out so I want to get this off before I lose it! It's been so lovely to see the studio getting more busy again now that classes have begun. It is still really quiet suing Open Studio time and, from what I have seen, in town in general. I know it will be a nervous time for many and I hope you are all well.I would like to take a moment to remind everyo...
