Coyote Clay School and Studios

ALL CLASSES AND WAIT LISTS ARE CURRENTLY FULL! WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT CLASSES BUT WE CAN NOT SIGN UP NEW STUDENTS CURRENTLY

 

Please observe the following guidelines for COVID safety:

We will be posting a COVID self-assessment checklist for each student and studio member to consult before entering. We ask that you self-screen. If you are experiencing a fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, chills, or loss of taste and smell, please stay home. You will be asked to leave if you display any of these symptoms.

We will also ask each student and studio member to sign in and provide contact information on arrival to help with contact tracing. By signing the sheet you will be acknowledging that you have completed the self-screening and are not showing any symptoms. We will not be requiring temperature measurements, but we do have contactless thermometers available if you would be more comfortable being checked.

To reduce the chances of COVID exposure, we are adopting the following changes:

 

- There is now a keypad for entry. Entry codes will be provided on the first of the month when fees are paid and will allow access to the studio during business hours until the end of the month.

- All Clay and Tool purchases will now be self-service and subtracted from your deposit, as well as firing. Maintaining a deposit will no longer be optional.

- Only 14 students and/or studio members will be permitted at once. During class hours (Monday-Thursday 6-9 and Saturday 1-4,) students will be given preference.

- A mask is required while you are inside the building, and social distancing practices will be enforced, including every other wheel being taped off to maintain appropriate distance.

- There will no longer be communal slop buckets. Clay scraps should still be thrown into the buckets under the tables to be thrown away, but cleanup should now be done at the sink. Throwing water should also come from the sink.

- Please bring your own bucket, as communal studio buckets will no longer be provided.

- We encourage you to use contactless forms of payment when possible. We are able to take payments over the phone or send PayPal invoices on request, and we can put money on deposit for most of your expenses including class fees, supplies, tools, and firing.

 

Please stay safe!
