Pottery Student Resources

Read through these before your first class

Mask Policy

Our policy remains “no mask, no entry”, regardless of BC mask mandates changing.

 

Please wear a tight fitting mask ,  ideally a KN95, N95, or surgical mask, not a cloth mask.

​

We hope that you'll continue to support all arts programs in Vancouver who keep their mask mandates in place.

VACCINE POLICY

All enrolling students are responsible to have two doses, and have their vaccine ID Card before starting class.
 

The physical paper card the vaccine clinic gave you will suffice if you don’t have a digital card. There are no refunds or make ups for missing a class due to not having your vaccine card. 
 

Two doses is the minimum requirement for taking classes at Hand Eye Ceramics.
 

Please visit this link for vaccine card details. 
 

To confirm your immunization records, register for Health Gateway with the link above .

HOW TO GET HERE

Location: 2nd Floor 739 Gore Ave 
 

Please put on your mask before entering the studio building, then go through the double doors under the yellow awning marked 739.
 

Walk up the stairs and go through a second set of doors. Turn left to find a third set of doors and ring the doorbell on the right hand side, marked “Hand Eye Ceramics”.

 

One of our instructors will come let you in. Please be patient if it takes a minute or two. Please make sure to pull our third door shut after entering.

 

The studio is the blue door at the end of the hallway.

​

If the outside door is locked and you cannot get to the doorbell, please call your instructor (refer to your confirmation email for instructor phone numbers).
 

Before entering the final door leading to the studio, you will see a bathroom to your right. Please wash your hands for 30 seconds or more.

APRONS & TRIMMING TOOLS

If you are taking a wheel throwing class, you will need to purchase two trimming tools and an apron at your first class. Aprons are $17 and trimming tools are $10 each. You will need one small and one medium trimming tool.

 

You can purchase these as a bundle from our webstore at this link: https://www.handeyeceramics.com/apron-tools

 

Please keep the confirmation receipt to show to the instructor when you arrive for your first class.

 

Alternatively you can pay when you arrive, or bring cash ($38.85 after tax).
If you already have one or more of these items, you can purchase the individual tools or apron on the webstore.

 

Marking Your Tools

​

It’s very important to label your trimming tools so they don’t get lost in your second class when we use them. Please label with either electrical tape, nail polish or spray paint on the metal handle.
 

ADDITIONAL CLAY

9lb of clay is included with your class. If you need additional clay, you must purchase it through the studio. No outside clay is allowed.
