At the start of each term, you will be sent a link to a google sheets doc. This is a student managed spread sheet that allows you to remove your name on the dates you are away and add your name to a vacant spot. We cannot guarantee a makeup, but we are flexible, and it generally works very well. We encourage you to aim for your regular session as much as possible. Please talk to your teacher if you are expecting to attend a different session so we can do our best to keep track of your pots!

Casual studio access is available to all currently enrolled “immersive” students (of the 8 week course) at a substantially reduced rate ($10 reduced from $35 and includes clay).

Please bring your own apron and towel, and no open toed shoe .
We suggest you wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Clay washes out very easily and generally won’t stain, although some of the glazes do.

Clay is completely inert and harmless when wet. It is dust from dry clay that can be harmful. The team at LSP go to a great deal of trouble to keep the dust down, wiping down surfaces and mopping the floors after every class. We also ask that all studio users are mindful of the dust issues, by picking up small pieces of clay that may fall from your work during the making process and wiping down the surfaces you use. A clean studio is a safer one.
When glazing your work, we ask that you avoid eating or drinking. Some people may experience drying skin when using the glazes but we supply plastic gloves if you would like to use them.
And remember if you see something that concerns you, please let one of the LSP team know.
