RULES and GUIDELINES
-
MEMBERSHIP & ANNUAL DUES: New members are required to complete and submit an application, sign a waiver, and pay $15.00 Dues (dues are not prorated). A “Welcome Letter” is delivered to new members.
-
TEACHER/INSTRUCTOR: These individuals are contracted by the CCPC Board and approved by the PCHOA. When Teacher/Instructors are in the classroom, members are required to pay a class fee to cover the cost of any assistance/instruction provided. A portion of this class fee is also paid to the PCHOA.
-
COMMENTS/ISSUES: The process for handling any Ceramics Club issues are as follows:
-
Member submits their comments/issues into the Comments/Issues Box located in the classroom that will be monitored by a Teacher/Instructor or Board Member weekly for action.
-
If the problem cannot be handled within the Club, then the CAC Administration or lastly, the PCHOA would be the final step.
-
-
CERAMIC SUPPLIES: The Teacher/Instructor and/or Board-approved member are the only individuals that are authorized to sell supplies and receive cash/check payments. When $50 has been spent on greenware/bisque purchases, the Teacher/Instructor will sign off for a free firing.
-
FIRINGS: Only Teacher/Instructor or Board-approved member can sign off on firing slips. There is a 2-week window that members should anticipate for firings. This allows time to fill kilns for the most efficient and effective firings. Special firings may require more time. If a member has a special request for firings, they can try to arrange with the teacher. Firings can only be completed with properly completed firing slips.
-
KILN ROOM: Only Teacher/Instructor, Board-approved Monitor or Member are allowed in the kiln room. This is due to liability issues.
