==The Ceramics Process==

Your clay project in the studio will involve several steps, start to finish. This will take several days or a couple weeks to complete depending on the time you have to work on the project, and how frequently the kiln is fired.

*'''Start Your Piece Using Wet Clay.''' There’s several ways to do this:
**'''Throwing on the Wheel''' - This is what most folks think of when they think of ceramic.
**'''Hand Building''' - Grab a hunk of clay and start making something out of it! You can shape it by hand, use tools to chop it up or carve designs in it, your imagination is the limit.
**'''Extrusion''' - The extruder can be used to press clay into a shape which you can then further assemble into something cool, like a coil bowl.
**'''Slab Work''' - The slab roller takes a chunk of clay and flattens it to a consistent thickness (or you can use a rolling pin too!). You can use this slab of clay to assemble all sorts of pieces, including boxes, vases, cups, tiles, etc.. You can use cookie cutters, knives, and other tools to cut shapes and designs into your slab pieces. Again, your imagination is the limit.
*'''Trim and Finalize the Piece'''
**Let the piece you’ve made dry to the leather / leather hard stage. This can take up to a couple days, depending on the thickness of the piece, the temperature and humidity in the studio, and how tightly the piece is covered while drying. You’ll want to check on it every day or two to monitor it so you know when it is dry enough. At this point, you can easily trim, carve, clean up minor mistakes, and further refine the piece prior to the first firing. This is the time to either write your name on the bottom of the piece or apply your makers mark.
*'''First Firing - Bisque Firing'''
**The first firing is the bisque firing. This firing removes the majority of the moisture from the piece and prepares it for glazing. Once bisqued, the piece is transformed into a stone-like substance that can no longer be wetted and turned back into wet clay or recycled.
**We bisque fire to Cone 04 (low fire).
*'''Apply Glaze'''
**After bisquing, the piece is very dry and will readily absorb glaze. You can apply glaze directly onto your piece, or you can dip part or all of your piece into a bucket of glaze. This stage is super fun and full of possibilities, as you can combine different glazes in creative ways to get really interesting results. Glaze test are strongly recommended.
*'''Second Firing - Glaze Firing'''
**This is the final firing which finishes your piece. This firing finishes the piece and the glaze melts and turns into a glassy coating on the surface.
**We glaze fire to Cone 5 (mid/high fire, not to be confused with 05 which is low fire) with a 10 minute hold.
**'''NOTE:''' Any slipcast (Premade) ceramics purchased at Evens Ceramics are lowfire only and will be destroyed in the cone 5 glaze firing and possibly damage other projects in the kiln.

==Ceramics Studio Safety==

Safety in the Ceramics Studio falls into two main areas. The first has to do with managing dust and the silica that is naturally present in clay. The second has to do with general tool and studio safety, most of which is common sense.

'''Clay Dust and Silica - What you Should Know'''

*Clay dust is very fine, much finer than normal household dust. Fine particles of clay dust containing silica can hang in the air for many hours or several days without filtration and/or circulating fresh air from outdoors. You cannot see the dust in the air, but it is still there.
*Long-term repetitive exposure to silica causes fluid buildup and scar tissue in the lungs that reduces your ability to breathe. This can lead to lung scarring and cough, weight loss, and fatigue.
*http://www.lung.org/lung-health-and-diseases/lung-disease-lookup/silicosis/
*While the risk is greatest for workers in industries handling silica containing materials, it is still important to minimize exposure in the ceramics studio.

'''How to Minimize Exposure to Dust and Silica in the Studio'''

*'''''No sanding''''' of any type is allowed in the ceramics studio.
*Dust control is key to minimizing exposure, and water is your friend. Wet clay doesn’t make dust and is harmless. Follow these tips to help mitigate exposure to yourself and your fellow ceramicists (remember, dust can hang in the air for a very long time):
**Don’t sweep the floor in the ceramics studio! The floor should be wet mopped to pick up and remove dust from the floor.
**Use a damp sponge to clean up work tables and surfaces, rinsing frequently to remove dust from the sponge.
**Trim your pieces while they are still in the leather / leather hard stage. If your piece has dried beyond that stage and you still wish to trim you may gradually re-introduce moisture into the clay body. This is risky, go low and slow, it's just the opposite of the drying process.
**Wear a tight fitting mask or respirator when doing work that produces dust.

==General Studio Safety Guidelines==

*As in the rest of the Makerspace: Be Not on Fire
*Keep safely away from the kiln while in operation
*Do not look into the kiln while in operation without protective glasses
*Don’t leave tools, especially pointy sharp ones, in buckets of water or the sink
*Do not use the pottery wheel without proper instruction

<center>''Updated: 02/24/2025''</center>

==General Ceramics Studio Policies==

In order to meet our MakeICT credo of '''Be Excellent to Each Other''', we ask that all users of the ceramics studio adhere to the following:

*'''Cleaning'''
**Please leave the studio cleaner than you found it.
**As always, be careful that you are not creating dust while cleaning, but picking it up with a wet sponge or mop.
**Clean any tools or equipment that you use and put them away or on the drying rack as appropriate.
**Clean any bits of leftover clay, etc., off of the work tables using the large sponge so they are ready for the next person to use. Get the sponge wet, wring it out well, and wipe down the surface. Rinse the sponge frequently, being sure to wring it out well so that you don’t over-wet the surface so it has to dry for a very long time.
**Look for and pick up any loose bits of clay that fall on floor around the area you are working before you leave and toss them in the trash (not the recycling). Doing so while the clay is still wet means those bits of clay don’t dry and create dust in the future as people walk on them.
**The floor should only be wet mopped to remove dust and clay build up. Do not use a broom on the floor. The mop bucket is located near the door to the ceramics studio, just hot water is sufficient for general cleaning.
*'''Sink / Sink Drain'''
**Take extra care not to allow large amounts of clay to go down the sink drain. We have a trap on the drain as well as a bucker with a strainer to help catch clay so we don’t clog the drain, but the best way to avoid clogging the drain, is to avoid letting lots of clay go down the drain in the first place.
*'''Used Clay Recycling'''
**We recycle a mixture of Cone 5-6 (mid/high fire) clay used in the studio. This recycled clay is used for Ceramics Nights events, and is generally available for free for anyone to use to experiment and learn how to work with clay in the studio. Due to the variable mixing of clays properties of the free clay will vary somewhat over time. Because of this you may wish to use new clay for some projects.
**Put your over-dry or mostly dry pieces of clay in one of the recycling buckets next to the sink. Examples would be a bowl you were throwing on the wheel that didn’t turn out, a leather hard piece you don’t want to keep or the trimmings from your leather hard pieces.
**Do not put clay scraps from the floor into the recycle bucket, discard floor scraps into the trash.
**Put slip and really wet / sloppy bits of clay into the bucket in or next to the sink.
*'''Storing Personal Belongings'''
**We have very limited storage space in the studio. There are cubbies available for rent, as well as lockers in the hallway. The area lead will coordinate with the treasurer to ensure all cubbies are being paid for and will post on the forum when cubbies become available.
**Contact the treasurer for information on renting a hallway locker.
**Other than your work in progress on the drying rack, everything else must be taken home or put on a shelf / locker that you pay for.
**'''All items left in the studio must have your name on them or in a rented cubby.''' Anything left in the studio without a name on it is free for public use and/or recycling.
*'''Leaving Work Pieces Too Long'''
**The drying racks on the West side of the studio are for in work projects that are drying in order to be trimmed or drying to prepare for bisque firing, the drying racks are not for clay, tool, or bisqued/finish project storage. Everything on the drying shelf must have the members name and the date that it was placed on the shelf. There is masking tape and pens available to label your items, please do not write directly on the wareboards.
**There is a 30 day limit for in work projects on the drying shelf. If projects need to be on the shelf longer than 30 days, please contact the area lead or update the date on the project
**We have very limited storage space for works-in-progress. Pieces left in the studio for more than 30 days will become property of the studio and may be recycled, disposed of, or finished and sold at consignment to benefit the studio. It is the members responsibility to check on the status of work pieces and collect them after firing. We will post on the official MakeICT forum each time we fire the kiln, including pictures when possible, to serve as notice your pieces are ready.
*'''Identification of Work Pieces'''
**Work pieces should be identified while in the studio:
***'''Greenware''' (un-bisqued pieces in progress or drying) - Put your name and the date on a piece of masking tape and place it on the wareboard (drying board) or bat that your piece is drying on while on the shelves.
***'''Bisqueware''' (bisque fired pieces ready to be glazed) - Before you fire your pieces, unless it is impractical because of the design or size of the piece, you should put your name / makers mark on the bottom of your piece. Underglaze pencils are provided that will let you write your name on the bottom of bisqued pieces without risk of sticking to the kiln shelf during the glaze fire.
*'''Work tables'''
**There are three work tables in the ceramics studio, two have a canvas covering and one has a hard Formica type covering:
***The canvas covered tables are mainly used for wedging clay and hand building projects. Do not wedge or use very dark colored clay on the canvas tables without the use of the provided "dark clay wedging board" that is available near the door to the studio.
***Please refrain from cutting on the canvas covered tables without the use of provided cutting boards (near the door to the ceramics studio) as damage to the canvas covering can occur
***Please refrain from using wax resist on the canvas covered tables as any spillage can contaminate the clay project of the next member.

==Tools / Consumables==

'''Allowed Clay'''

*Cone 5 (mid/high fire) B-mix is the primary clay used and is stocked in the studio. We have 25 pound blocks of clay available for purchase in the studio for $20.00 each.
*You are welcome to buy any Cone 5-6 clay from Evan’s Ceramics or another source and bring it to use if you like.
*Proper etiquette for dark clay bodies:
**Do not work directly with colored clay on the work tables. There is a special canvas covered work board for you to use to prevent colored clays from contaminating the work tables.
**If you produce large amounts of non B-mix scrap clay consider recycling it separately to avoid marked changes to the recycled clay.
**Outside clay bodies from unknown sources, (like clay you dug up) '''Must''' be tested prior to firing/production.

'''Allowed Glaze'''

*Several glazes are made available in the studio for use. '''Glazes are not free.''' Glazes cost $1.00 per ounce. Make payment in the blue payment box.
*There are small 1oz plastic containers in the cabinet you can use to measure out an ounce of glaze at a time to use on your pieces. This makes it easy to figure the cost of the glaze you use.
*To prevent contamination, please don’t pour used glaze back into the original containers. You can always add more glaze to your plastic painting cup if you run low.
*We fire everything to Cone 5/2167F (remember 05 is not 5), so most glazes that fire to Cone 5-6 are perfectly fine to bring in and use on your pieces. If you’re shopping at Evan’s Ceramics, be sure and read the bottle the glaze came in and see that it says Cone 5 or 6 on it, and the instructions don’t have any special requirements for temperature or timing / hold times. Most all of the high-fire glazes there can be used here, and we buy our glazes there.
*Low-fire glazes can be used as under glazes, with a layer of high-fire clear or other glaze over the top, to come up with interesting patterns and effects on your pieces.

'''Bags / Towels'''

*Bags to cover your pieces are available in the studio. It’s great to reuse bags, however when they start to get a heavy coating of clay on them it’s time to discard the bag and get a new one to help control dust.
*We provide terry cloth towels that you can use which we'll rewash. Please use the large sponges for cleaning up clay or glaze on tables or on the wheels and use towels for drying. Please rinse any clay residue off of the towels as the clay can clog the washing machine.

'''Tools'''

*All the tools you need to work on your project are provided in the studio. You can bring your own of course. Community tools are located under the work tables and on the shelves above the sink. Be sure and clean everything and put it on the drying rack when you are through.

'''Specific Tools / Special Instructions'''

*'''Diamond Grinding Disc''' - The grinding disc is a wet-grinding disc that you can use to smooth the bottom of your pieces after they have been glaze fired to flatten the bottom so they sit smoothly and to prevent them from scratching the furniture you set them on. '''It is important to always use water on the disc when grinding.''' It takes very little force to use the disc. Please [https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba2Jk7CF5Sg/ watch this short video] for a super quick primer before using the disc for the first time. You can read more about the disc on [https://diamondcoretools.com/products/8-diamond-grinding-disc the manufacturer's website].

==Resources==

'''Glaze Sample Tiles / Cups'''
[[File:Ceramics SampleTilesBeforeFiring.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Sample tiles before firing.]]We have sample tiles / cups for each of the glazes we stock in the studio to show what different glazes look like when they are fired. You can reference [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14nF5QFZqj_Tr13uHerE63TOFChxpxhJ3N_8xg_leuVQ/edit?usp=sharing the spreadsheet] to see the details about the glazes in the studio, including an special instructions.

'''Mixing / Layering Glazes'''

There are endless variations possible, and lots of stunning results can be had, when layering or mixing glazes.

*'''Layering''' - While there is no way to truly predict how glazes react and act in the kiln, you can get some ideas of successful layering combinations by checking out some of the layering charts in the studio, or taking a look at the [https://www.amaco.com/glazes-and-underglazes/layering#top_glaze=273&page=2&bottom_glaze=273 Glaze Layering page on the AMACO website] ''(most of the glazes we make available in the studio are AMACO glazes)''. Their page is interactive, letting you pick the top and bottom glazes to find sample images.
*'''Mixing'''[[File:Content celadon-brochure-pg4-only.jpg|100px|thumb|right|[https://s3.amazonaws.com/amacobrent/home/deploy/amaco/releases/20170130020451/public/ckeditor_assets/attachments/1359/celadon-brochure-pg4-only.pdf AMACO Celadon clay mixing ideas chart.]]] - When it comes to mixing, anything is possible and the outcomes can be rather unpredictable. The adventure is yours! If you turn out some really fine examples and want to share, post them to the forum to share!
*'''Lightening''' - If you want to lighten one of the AMACO Celadon glazes, you can use the AMACO Mixing Clear, glaze #23 on our chart. Refer to the Soften section [https://s3.amazonaws.com/amacobrent/home/deploy/amaco/releases/20170130020451/public/ckeditor_assets/attachments/1359/celadon-brochure-pg4-only.pdf on this flyer] for examples of the percent mix to achieve the lightening results.

==Personal Metal Storage Policy==
Please be aware that any personal metal stored in the metal shop must be labeled with your name and a current date.
Any metal without a label or with a date older than 30 days will be used for classes or be sorted by the area leads and either given away to members or disposed of.
You are allowed to store your metal for longer than 30 days however the label must be updated to current at least every 30 days.
The metal shop is not liable for any supplies left in the space.

==General Shop Safety==

#Do not use any equipment you are not comfortable using. If at any time you are unsure of what you are doing, stop immediately and ask for help.
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. uUnplug The equipment, leave a note on the machine and notify the metalshop Lead-
#Always check tools prior to use.
#Wear safety glasses at all times when tools are in use in the shop area.
#Ear protection is recommended
#No open-toed shoes or loose clothing
#Remove objects on hands and wrists
#Remove dangly necklaces and earrings
#Restrain long hair to prevent entanglement
#Do not leave machines running unattended.
#Never talk to or disturb anyone operating power tools, forge or welding equipment. If you must talk to an operator wait until the operator finishes the operation.
#Be aware of the work going on around you.
#Wear proper PPE (personal protective equipment) Safety glasses welding sleeves, grinding shields etc.
#Unplug/turn off the air compressor when not in use
#Make sure all windows and doors are shut before leaving

==Metalshop Safety==

#You are responsible for cleaning your machines, your work space, and putting all tools away after use. Scrap metal should be placed in designated locations. Use vacuums or hand brushes to clean machinery.
#Users who consistently fail in their clean-up responsibilities may be denied shop access.
#Make sure machines are in the “off” position and motion has stopped, before leaving them after use.
#Make sure all gas cylinders are in the off position while not in use.
#All safety guards must be kept in place while operating equipment. If a guard or safety device is an impediment to safe operation of a machine - ask for help.
#Use equipment only for its intended use.
#If you have made an adjustment to a piece of equipment, return it to its normal position after you are done.
#All guests are the responsibility of the member. Guests are NOT allowed to use equipment. Children under 8 years old are not allowed for safety.

==Machine shop Specific Safety==

#This includes all mills and lathes in the metalshop.
#Lead authorized certification is required to operate this equipment. This can be as easy as showing the Lead or peer the proper use of said equipment and describing experience.
#Due to the high level of technical understanding and cost of the Tormach CNC mill, extensive training will be required before use.

==Welding shop Specific Safety==

#Use the proper face shield when grinding and a welding helmet when welding.
#Closed-toed shoes.
#Wear the appropriate glove while welding.
#We suggest you wear ear protection to prevent sparks from entering your ear canal.
#NEVER weld on or near anything that's been cleaned with a chlorinated hydrocarbon like brake-cleaner. When combined with UV light, chlorinated hydrocarbons can create phosgene gas, which can cause serious injury or death. Ventilation will not prevent poisoning.
#No galvanized (zinc plated) material should be welded without removal of the galvanized coating near the weld zone to protect from poison gas release.

'''Fire'''

#Make sure the hot work area is free from all flammable materials such as flammable liquids, paper, etc. Do not wear clothing or gloves that have been exposed to flammable liquids.

'''Burns'''

#Welded metal will remain hot for several minutes after it is welded.
#Burn kit is in the big orange medical bag in the cold shop.

'''UV Burns'''

#The light emitted from a weld arc is brighter than the sun. Do not look at the arc without wearing a full-faced welding mask with a shade 9 or darker filter plate.

'''Compressed Gas Cylinders'''

#Argon and CO2 are inert, nontoxic gases normally present in the atmosphere. However, if allowed to fill an enclosed area these gases can fully displace breathable air, causing asphyxiation and death. Greater potential danger is the valve being knocked off the cylinder, turning it into a [https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjgoben1NTJAhVxtoMKHcOUD3EQyCkIHjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DejEJGNLTo84&usg=AFQjCNHsmc_7cnerbQoLrdAHYLgzwssOnQ&bvm=bv.109910813,d.eWE rocket] powerful enough to severely injure or kill people and damage equipment and the building itself.
#The following guidelines must be followed at all times:
#*'''''Storing'''''
#**Cylinders must ALWAYS remain upright and NEVER be placed horizontally.
#**Cylinders must be secured with a non-combustible material (metal) to an immovable object to prevent them from falling.
#*'''''Moving'''''
#**Cylinders must be securely capped.

James Lancaster: /* Machine Access Policy */

==General Information==
MakeICT's metal shop is broken up into 2 areas, a cold shop and a hot shop. The hot shop features welding equipment and plasma cutting equipment as well as sand blasting and powder coating. While the cold shop centers around machining operations including lathes and milling machines.

You are expected to clean up after yourself. Failure to clean up your own mess will lead to being banned from use of metal shop tools and equipment.

Spray paint of any type is prohibited in the Metal shop.

==Metal Shop Lead==

Unfilled Position - Seeking new lead.

==Metalshop Access Policy==
{{:Metalshop_Access_Policy}}

==Personal Metal Storage Policy==
Please be aware that any personal metal stored in the metal shop must be labeled with your name and a current date.
Any metal without a label or with a date older than 30 days will be used for classes or be sorted by the area leads and either given away to members or disposed of.
You are allowed to store your metal for longer than 30 days however the label must be updated to current at least every 30 days.
The metal shop is not liable for any supplies left in the space.

==General Shop Safety==

#Do not use any equipment you are not comfortable using. If at any time you are unsure of what you are doing, stop immediately and ask for help.
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. uUnplug The equipment, leave a note on the machine and notify the metalshop Lead-
#Always check tools prior to use.
#Wear safety glasses at all times when tools are in use in the shop area.
#Ear protection is recommended
#No open-toed shoes or loose clothing
#Remove objects on hands and wrists
#Remove dangly necklaces and earrings
#Restrain long hair to prevent entanglement
#Do not leave machines running unattended.
#Never talk to or disturb anyone operating power tools, forge or welding equipment. If you must talk to an operator wait until the operator finishes the operation.
#Be aware of the work going on around you.
#Wear proper PPE (personal protective equipment) Safety glasses welding sleeves, grinding shields etc.
#Unplug/turn off the air compressor when not in use
#Make sure all windows and doors are shut before leaving

==Metalshop Safety==

#You are responsible for cleaning your machines, your work space, and putting all tools away after use. Scrap metal should be placed in designated locations. Use vacuums or hand brushes to clean machinery.
#Users who consistently fail in their clean-up responsibilities may be denied shop access.
#Make sure machines are in the “off” position and motion has stopped, before leaving them after use.
#Make sure all gas cylinders are in the off position while not in use.
#All safety guards must be kept in place while operating equipment. If a guard or safety device is an impediment to safe operation of a machine - ask for help.
#Use equipment only for its intended use.
#If you have made an adjustment to a piece of equipment, return it to its normal position after you are done.
#All guests are the responsibility of the member. Guests are NOT allowed to use equipment. Children under 8 years old are not allowed for safety.

==Machine shop Specific Safety==

#This includes all mills and lathes in the metalshop.
#Lead authorized certification is required to operate this equipment. This can be as easy as showing the Lead or peer the proper use of said equipment and describing experience.
#Due to the high level of technical understanding and cost of the Tormach CNC mill, extensive training will be required before use.

==Welding shop Specific Safety==

#Use the proper face shield when grinding and a welding helmet when welding.
#Closed-toed shoes.
#Wear the appropriate glove while welding.
#We suggest you wear ear protection to prevent sparks from entering your ear canal.
#NEVER weld on or near anything that's been cleaned with a chlorinated hydrocarbon like brake-cleaner. When combined with UV light, chlorinated hydrocarbons can create phosgene gas, which can cause serious injury or death. Ventilation will not prevent poisoning.
#No galvanized (zinc plated) material should be welded without removal of the galvanized coating near the weld zone to protect from poison gas release.

'''Fire'''

#Make sure the hot work area is free from all flammable materials such as flammable liquids, paper, etc. Do not wear clothing or gloves that have been exposed to flammable liquids.

'''Burns'''

#Welded metal will remain hot for several minutes after it is welded.
#Burn kit is in the big orange medical bag in the cold shop.

'''UV Burns'''

#The light emitted from a weld arc is brighter than the sun. Do not look at the arc without wearing a full-faced welding mask with a shade 9 or darker filter plate.

'''Compressed Gas Cylinders'''

#Argon and CO2 are inert, nontoxic gases normally present in the atmosphere. However, if allowed to fill an enclosed area these gases can fully displace breathable air, causing asphyxiation and death. Greater potential danger is the valve being knocked off the cylinder, turning it into a [https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjgoben1NTJAhVxtoMKHcOUD3EQyCkIHjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DejEJGNLTo84&usg=AFQjCNHsmc_7cnerbQoLrdAHYLgzwssOnQ&bvm=bv.109910813,d.eWE rocket] powerful enough to severely injure or kill people and damage equipment and the building itself.
#The following guidelines must be followed at all times:
#*'''''Storing'''''
#**Cylinders must ALWAYS remain upright and NEVER be placed horizontally.
#**Cylinders must be secured with a non-combustible material (metal) to an immovable object to prevent them from falling.
#*'''''Moving'''''
#**Cylinders must be securely capped.

James Lancaster: /* List of Trespass-Warned Persons */

='''Preface'''=
The following is a list of persons/individuals with trespass warning issued to them by the Board of Directors of MakeICT or by Security due to either 1) board action or 2) keycard revocation. The named individuals are not allowed onto MakeICT property, or into the building, except as a guest of a Director or Lead Security Officer.

Named individuals are subject to [https://www.kslegislature.org/li_2012/b2011_12/statute/021_000_0000_chapter/021_058_0000_article/021_058_0008_section/021_058_0008_k/ '''KS 21-5808'''] regarding criminal trespass.

There will be a physical copy of this list made available and posted in the welcome area.

This list will be updated as warranted.

==='''''List of Trespass-Warned Persons'''''===

*John Withers
*Benjamin Rogers
*Gaye Caine
*Jesse Schlenker
*Greg Cain
*Jay Christensen

===Membership Responsibilities===

Members are asked to do the following if they notice and identify a trespass-warned individual on the property and/or in the building:

*Notify Security of the trespass, including the date, time, area of the grounds/building, and the name of the individual. Members may do this by emailing security@makeict.org.

*Contact police, if they are comfortable doing so. If this action is chosen, they are requested to obtain the case number and share it with a member of Security by emailing security@makeict.org.

Members are asked not to issue trespass warnings themselves.

** https://makeict.wildapricot.org/event-5638634

*'''Secondary Artist'''
** You will need to get the code from the primary artist, with that you will select, ''Shared Booth - Secondary Artist'' as ticket type on the form at: https://makeict.wildapricot.org/event-5638634
** Enter the code when prompted
** Fill out the form, and make sure to add the Primary Artist in the fields for Shared Artist.

===Waitlist===
*If all spots are filled, you will be put on a waitlist. Please, Fill out the forms as appropriate. (You will not pay at that point.) If a spot does become available, you will be moved up with a notification, upon which time you will need to pay though the event/WildApricot link.

==='''Meeting Times'''===
On May 1st, we will have a volunteer meeting where we will assign jobs to all who are willing. We would like to play to your strengths, so if you want a certain job, we hope to align you with whatever you like to do.

On the morning of May 18th, at 11:00 AM, we will have a brief before-event meeting to make sure everyone knows what they need to do and to cover any last minute issues that may arise.

==='''Jobs'''===
The needed jobs and descriptions are as follows:

*Greeters: You will guide people from the entrance and hallway to Rooms 3 and 4 to see the other vendors available, the vendors outside, to the end of the hallway for a tour, or to the bathroom. Whatever they need for directions, these should be the most common questions you should have to answer!
*Parking: Guiding people into a spot to help with space preservation.
*Tours: We need knowledgeable members to alternate with each other for giving tours. One Tour Guide will sit at the end of the hallway and “collect” people, chit chat with them and get their interests, the other Tour Guide will be on a tour with their group, and then they will switch once one tour is over.
*Floaters: You will need to be flexible to cover wherever you are needed, and/or to be able to follow the tours in the back to keep an eye on anyone who may wander away or answer questions if asked.

==='''Grow The Space/Community Through Support'''===
It’s vital that we have volunteers for our very space to run, let alone the events we have the chance to make happen. You are an important part of our team for every event and we are so incredibly thankful for everything you do. Your willingness to help in any way you can in turn fosters a community of people we can all rely on to bring our visions to life. We want to continue to foster the type of community that everyone would want to be a part of: one full of excellent people.

==='''Contact'''===
Any questions you have should be sent to ''events@makeict.org.''

===Mission Statement===

*MakeICT is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and is operated entirely by volunteers. It’s our mission to innovate, learn, and build community at the intersection of art, technology, science, and culture.

===Thanks and Recognition===

===Roof Funding===

*Payment is not due until the construction is complete.

**$2182 from membership
**$4300 received in grants
**$1900 awarded in additional grants
**$708 pending
*We’re about $29k shy on the fund raising.
**We still have plenty of funds to cover the roof.
**This just means other projects like putting better A/C in the rooms will have to wait.
*Construction started 9/18/2023! (payment is due upon completion of roof)
*Construction is expected to be completed by the beginning of October.

'''Members are asked to please continue contributing to the roof fund.'''

===Maker Market in December===

===Committee Updates===

===Forum Moderators as Committee===
For the following reasons:

*The forum serves as a location for posting official announcements and other member-facing MakeICT content.
*The forum moderators have authority and power beyond what regular members have.
*The forum moderators represent MakeICT to an internal and external audience every day.

*The forum moderators should be officially designated a standing committee, separate from IT, with the same privileges and requirements that all committees have, according to the Committees policy.
*Aaron proposes that the forum moderators should not be a committee, due to the power they have over other members, and Security, IT, and the DRC should not be committees for the same reason.
*This issue is tabled for now due to the need for further discussion and clarification. It will be discussed at the next Breakfast with the Board. Forum moderators will also be notified.

===Propane Storage for Jewelry Lab===

*The 20lb propane tanks used in Jewelry are not rated for indoor use. Ideally we need to designate outdoor storage for the tanks and build up the storage area. Other options to propane have been looked at (oxy/acetylene, natural gas) and they are not as ideal.
*An outdoor cage is possible, and estimated to cost $200-800. It would require pouring a slab and locking the cage, with the lead(s) having exclusive access. Tabled so that Mike can do more research and assess viable options.
*The tanks will be removed from the premises in the interim.

==Gallery: Exhibit of wood carving projects by Ryan Lawrence==

*The exhibit is proposed to go on display starting on December 4 (the day of Ryan’s MFA defense) and run for 2 weeks afterward, with guests visiting to view it.
*Would prefer that the two-tone walls be painted a uniform white (satin or eggshell).

Mike moves to task Facilities/Gallery/volunteers with painting classroom 4 in an appropriate color.

*Dean votes Yes
*LaDeana votes Yes
*Aaron votes Yes
*James votes Yes
*Rustin votes I’ll go with yes

Woodshop Area

2023-08-12T19:30:51Z

James Lancaster: /* General Information */ Update lead

==General Information==
The MakeICT Woodshop endeavors to empower members to engage in a variety of woodworking traditions safely, and productively.

MakeICT's woodshop consists of 2 rooms dedicated to wood working. Our first room is outfitted with a robust core of stationary machines for preparing, cutting to size, joining, and shaping lumber. Our second room is geared towards refinement with an assortment of stationary and hand tools for drilling, cutting, joining, and assembling projects; the second room is also home to our Lathes and ShopBot CNC Machine.

Lead: Aaron Rivers

==Machine Access Policy==
{{:Woodshop_Access_Policy}}
==General Shop Safety==

#Do not use any machine you are not trained on and comfortable using. If at any time you are unsure of what you are doing, stop immediately and ask for help. Do not force tools.
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. Stop, unplug, lock out, email or text the area lead aaron.rivers@makeict.org (the lead's cell number is written on the milling room chalk board)and leave a note on the machine and notify the Woodshop Lead.
#NEVER ASSUME A TOOL IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. Always check the tool prior to use.
#Use all available dust collection.
#Wear safety glasses at all times when in the shop area, including near the machine shop.
#Ear protection is also recommended, many of the tools operate above 90 decibels and without protection, you are losing hearing.
#When using power tools (including hand power tools):
#*No open-toed shoes or loose clothing (remove drawstrings)
#*Remove objects on hands and wrists (including rings, bracelets, & watches)
#*Remove dangly necklaces, hair ornaments, and earrings
#*Restrain long hair to prevent entanglement
#*Do not wear gloves when operating machinery
#While hand tools are safer than most power tools, they are the cause of most workshop injuries. Make sure all hand tools are sharp and in good condition. Be certain that you know how to use these tools in a way that is safe, effective, and will not damage the tool.
#Do not leave machines running unattended.
#Never talk to or disturb anyone operating power tools. If you must talk to an operator wait until the operator notices you.
#Be aware of the work going on around you. Do not accidentally bump into another person or their materials while they are working.
#Most shop accidents are caused by working tired, rushed or distracted. As you get more experience, you will learn to listen to the little voice in the back of your mind that says, you probably shouldn't do that. Stop and think, there is usually a safer way of performing that function. These machines do not have a brain, please use yours!

==Woodshop Specific Safety==

#All powered woodcutting and sanding tools must be run with dust collection or vacuum equipment connected to the appropriate ports and on at all times. Do not switch the dust collector on and off without time to cool, if you are planning on working with multiple tools, leave the collector on (repeated quickly turning on and off will overheat the motor).
#Smoke or sparks are bad signs in the woodshop. Stop what you are doing and correct the problem. Usually correct feed and depth of cut or getting a sharp bit / blade will help.
#No metal cutting allowed on woodshop equipment.
#No wet or damp items of any type (including drink containers, rags, or hands) may be placed or left on machine surfaces as they will corrode.
#Do not lean or sit on machinery, these are precision pieces of equipment and you can mis-align them.
#You are responsible for cleaning your machines, your work space, and putting all tools away immediately after use. Scrap wood should be placed in designated locations. Use vacuums or hand brushes to clean machinery.
#Users who consistently fail in their clean-up responsibilities may be denied shop access.
#Do not use stationary equipment work surfaces for sanding, project assembly, layout, applying finishes, etc. Or for uses other than their intended purpose.
#Make sure machines are in the “off” position and motion has stopped, before leaving them after use.
#All safety guards must be kept in place while operating equipment. If a guard or safety device is an impediment to safe operation of a machine - ask for help.
#Use equipment only for its intended use.
#If you have made an adjustment to a piece of equipment, return it to its normal position after you are done.
#Make sure the machine’s work surface is unobstructed and clean before use.
#Always be aware of the proximity of moving machine parts to body parts - fingers.
#Defects in the wood can be dangerous. Check the stock carefully for knots, splits, and other defects.
#Keep the machine clean. Remove all tools, lumber, and unnecessary materials.
#Objects left on the machine can vibrate into revolving cutters. They can then be thrown from the machine with great force. Never clean a machine while it is running.
#All guests are the responsibility of the member, guests are not allowed to use equipment, unless authorized. This is a working shop, so children less than 9 years old are not allowed for safety.
#DO NOT cut anything conductive such as mirrored acrylic, carbon based materials, or laser cutter waste on the Saw Stop tablesaw, the charred areas are carbon and because carbon is conductive, will set off the brake cartridge.
#Member will be responsible for replacing the blade and Sawstop brake if the brake is fired for anything other than a true safety firing. If it is a true safety firing, we will need a photo of the fresh wound and SawStop will evaluate the recorded cartridge memory. If SawStop deems it to be a safety firing, they will need the photo and a release for marketing use and they send a replacement cartridge.

==Commercial Sources for Wood==

Purchasing hardwood lumber is very different from purchasing construction lumber. Note that Hardwood Lumber is a botanical term and is not related to the relative hardness of the wood. Hardwoods shed their leaves in the fall. Softwoods are evergreen. That is a general rule, and there are exceptions. Note also that Balsa and Basswood are classified as Hardwoods.

See Wikipedia for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber#North_American_hardwoods more detail on terms, definitions, and practices involved in purchasing hardwoods in the US].

James Lancaster: Update lead

==General Information==
The MakeICT Woodshop endeavors to empower members to engage in a variety of woodworking traditions safely, and productively.

MakeICT's woodshop consists of 2 rooms dedicated to wood working. Our first room is outfitted with a robust core of stationary machines for preparing, cutting to size, joining, and shaping lumber. Our second room is geared towards refinement with an assortment of stationary and hand tools for drilling, cutting, joining, and assembling projects; the second room is also home to our Lathes and ShopBot CNC Machine.

Lead: Aaron Rivers

==Machine Access Policy==
{{:Woodshop_Access_Policy}}
==General Shop Safety==

#Do not use any machine you are not trained on and comfortable using. If at any time you are unsure of what you are doing, stop immediately and ask for help. Do not force tools.
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. Stop, unplug, lock out, email or text the area lead aaron.rivers@makeict.org (the lead's cell number is written on the milling room chalk board)and leave a note on the machine and notify the Woodshop Lead.
#NEVER ASSUME A TOOL IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. Always check the tool prior to use.
#Use all available dust collection.
#Wear safety glasses at all times when in the shop area, including near the machine shop.
#Ear protection is also recommended, many of the tools operate above 90 decibels and without protection, you are losing hearing.
#When using power tools (including hand power tools):
#*No open-toed shoes or loose clothing (remove drawstrings)
#*Remove objects on hands and wrists (including rings, bracelets, & watches)
#*Remove dangly necklaces, hair ornaments, and earrings
#*Restrain long hair to prevent entanglement
#*Do not wear gloves when operating machinery
#While hand tools are safer than most power tools, they are the cause of most workshop injuries. Make sure all hand tools are sharp and in good condition. Be certain that you know how to use these tools in a way that is safe, effective, and will not damage the tool.
#Do not leave machines running unattended.
#Never talk to or disturb anyone operating power tools. If you must talk to an operator wait until the operator notices you.
#Be aware of the work going on around you. Do not accidentally bump into another person or their materials while they are working.
#Most shop accidents are caused by working tired, rushed or distracted. As you get more experience, you will learn to listen to the little voice in the back of your mind that says, you probably shouldn't do that. Stop and think, there is usually a safer way of performing that function. These machines do not have a brain, please use yours!

==Woodshop Specific Safety==

#All powered woodcutting and sanding tools must be run with dust collection or vacuum equipment connected to the appropriate ports and on at all times. Do not switch the dust collector on and off without time to cool, if you are planning on working with multiple tools, leave the collector on (repeated quickly turning on and off will overheat the motor).
#Smoke or sparks are bad signs in the woodshop. Stop what you are doing and correct the problem. Usually correct feed and depth of cut or getting a sharp bit / blade will help.
#No metal cutting allowed on woodshop equipment.
#No wet or damp items of any type (including drink containers, rags, or hands) may be placed or left on machine surfaces as they will corrode.
#Do not lean or sit on machinery, these are precision pieces of equipment and you can mis-align them.
#You are responsible for cleaning your machines, your work space, and putting all tools away immediately after use. Scrap wood should be placed in designated locations. Use vacuums or hand brushes to clean machinery.
#Users who consistently fail in their clean-up responsibilities may be denied shop access.
#Do not use stationary equipment work surfaces for sanding, project assembly, layout, applying finishes, etc. Or for uses other than their intended purpose.
#Make sure machines are in the “off” position and motion has stopped, before leaving them after use.
#All safety guards must be kept in place while operating equipment. If a guard or safety device is an impediment to safe operation of a machine - ask for help.
#Use equipment only for its intended use.
#If you have made an adjustment to a piece of equipment, return it to its normal position after you are done.
#Make sure the machine’s work surface is unobstructed and clean before use.
#Always be aware of the proximity of moving machine parts to body parts - fingers.
#Defects in the wood can be dangerous. Check the stock carefully for knots, splits, and other defects.
#Keep the machine clean. Remove all tools, lumber, and unnecessary materials.
#Objects left on the machine can vibrate into revolving cutters. They can then be thrown from the machine with great force. Never clean a machine while it is running.
#All guests are the responsibility of the member, guests are not allowed to use equipment, unless authorized. This is a working shop, so children less than 9 years old are not allowed for safety.
#DO NOT cut anything conductive such as mirrored acrylic, carbon based materials, or laser cutter waste on the Saw Stop tablesaw, the charred areas are carbon and because carbon is conductive, will set off the brake cartridge.
#Member will be responsible for replacing the blade and Sawstop brake if the brake is fired for anything other than a true safety firing. If it is a true safety firing, we will need a photo of the fresh wound and SawStop will evaluate the recorded cartridge memory. If SawStop deems it to be a safety firing, they will need the photo and a release for marketing use and they send a replacement cartridge.

Discrimination and Harassment Policy

2023-08-12T19:25:52Z

James Lancaster: Redirect to the actual Code of Conduct as approved

Modification approved at [[December_15th_2022#Code_of_Conduct_Policy_Revision|December_15th_2022]] Board Meeting (changes in italics):

“We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. ''Investigations will be kept as confidential as possible.'' At our discretion, ''the results of substantiated investigations may be made public'' if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of MakeICT members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent. ''Nothing in this section precludes contacting the police or other legal authorities when indicated''."

==Founding and Purpose==

==Committee Recommendations for Art Displays==

*Because some art features sensitive topics, but we desire not to censor art, the following recommendations are made:
**Art with sensitive subjects should be displayed so that passersby can choose not to engaged with the art
**"Trigger warnings" should be provided on the outside of the exhibit
**One simple way to achieve this is to face the art away from the rest of the room and away from main walkways through the room
**creating visual barriers, such as temporary room dividers, to separate the art gallery from the rest of the room is another method suggested

Workshops and classes

2023-05-24T01:41:27Z

James Lancaster: Update link from forum to talk.makeict.org

[[Category:Rules and policies]]

Classes at MakeICT provide an opportunity for knowledgeable individuals to share what they know.

For a list of upcoming classes, visit the [http://makeict.org/calendar calendar]. If you have an idea for a class that you'd like to take or teach, please share it on the [https://talk.makeict.org forum] or refer to our web page for class request forms:

*http://makeict.org/teach-a-class/
*http://makeict.org/request-a-class/

We have also held a class on [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1uQ10vckhbU8vLSNdGxgU7oIZ8kadDWv7CXEeyqzzbF0/edit?usp=sharing how to teach a class]

For inquiries about private classes, send a message to [mailto:info@makeict.org info@makeict.org].

==Authorizations==
Authorizations provide people with the required knowledge and approval to operate specific pieces of equipment or work in specific areas.

*Price for attendees:
**Members: FREE + materials if there are any
**Non-members: $20 + materials if there are any
*Instructors may either volunteer or be paid $15 per hour, up to $60 per class

==Classes==
Classes can be open to the public or set up at the request of a private group.

*Price for attendees:
**Members: class fee only
**Non-members: $5 facilities fee + class fee
**Groups: may pay as a flat class fee rate at the discretion of the instructor, in which case a $25 facility fee applies.
*Instructors
**Set the class fee (which should include materials and instruction)
**Purchase/handle/distribute materials, or submit reimbursement request
**Keep 75% of class fee revenue
*MakeICT:
**Provides the venue/facilities
**Provides advertising
**Handles registration
**Handles customer service
**Keep 100% of facilities fees + 25% of class fee revenues

==Compensation for instructors==
Instructors who are not volunteering will receive their payments from MakeICT by the 15th day of the following month.

Approved by the board on [[February 15 2018|February 15 2018]] as educational plan.

===Class pricing calculation example===
Instructor’s hourly rate: $20

*Hours needed for the class: 2
*Amount spent on supplies: $75
*Number of students: 10
*Facility fee for non-members: $5

Attendee price = ([instructor rate]*[hours] + [materials] / 75%) / [# number of students]

*Instructor take-home total goal: $20*2+$75 = $115
*Total class revenue needed, including 25% for MakeICT: $115/75% = $154
*Minimum price per student: $15.40
*Minimum non-member price: $20.40

Donation and Hackables Policy

2023-05-17T00:00:31Z

James Lancaster: Change the link to one in the public drive folder instead of requiring login (Same file)

Because of MakeICT's growth, we are running out of space. In an effort to cut down on things that prevent working in the space, as well as a few cases where things which may cost to be disposed of have been left at MakeICT, we are instituting the following policies at MakeICT:

=Donation Policy=
We encourage the donation of equipment and other material to the space in order to full fill the needs of our membership, however, we do want to limit the need to dispose of items that are not needed at the space. If you would like to donate something to the Makerspace, please contactl the appropriate Area Lead or the Inventory Committee with information on donations. The Lead and/or Inventory Committee will determine if the item can be utilized at the space or not. Items we don't have any use for can also be donated to be sold by MakeICT and the proceeds will contribute to the betterment of the space. In the event that a donation has conditions, it must be approved beforehand, please contact the Inventory Committee to discuss the conditions. The donation will be tracked by utilizing the [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1qEXmDanwCev_NzdKwsVwoFQB3ZxbBRZT Equipment Donation Receipt] which a copy will be given to the donor to utilize for tax purposes if they desire.

 
==Prohibited Items==
MakeICT will not accept donations of:

*Anything containing hazardous material
*CRTs (Cathode Ray Tubes),
*Excessively large items which impede the work flow of the Makerspace

Restrictions may be added to this as needed.

If there is a question, you can ask about it on the forum (http://makeict.org/forum) or sending an email to inventory@makeict.org .

 

=Hackables policy=
Items donated to the space may be designated as hackables, in which case, they are intended to be hacked, taken apart for parts to use in projects, or otherwise used by members. The one restriction is that hackables shall not be taken simply to be resold. Any Area may have a hackables deposit, which will be clearly designated. Hackables should not be deposited any where else in the facility. Each Area will have more information on their individual hackable policy/drop off location, so please check their wiki page or contact the appropriate Area Lead if you have questions. If you wish to receive a letter for tax purposes about a donation designate as hackables, the donation must follow the donation policy.

Approved by the board on [[December 17 2020]].

James Lancaster:

==General Information==
The ceramics studio consists of two rooms. The studio which is approximately 850 square feet and an adjacent kiln room that is approximately 300 square feet. Gaye Caine the Ceramics Area Lead.

If you have questions, put a [https://talk.makeict.org/c/ceramics post on the forum], or send us an email: [mailto:ceramics@makeict.org ceramics@makeict.org]

See: https://talk.makeict.org/g/Ceramics

<center>''Updated: 11/24/2020''</center>

'''The Ceramics Process'''

Your clay project in the studio will involve several steps, start to finish. This will take several days or a couple weeks to complete depending on the time you have to work on the project, and how frequently the kiln is fired.

*'''Start Your Piece Using Wet Clay.''' There’s several ways to do this:
**'''Throwing on the Wheel''' - This is what most folks think of when they think of ceramics. Think Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in Ghost.
**'''Hand Building''' - Grab a hunk of clay and start making something out of it! Think Playdough, but for adults who are kids at heart. You can shape it by hand, use tools to chop it up or carve designs in it, your imagination is the limit.
**'''Extrusion''' - Think Playdough Fun Factory. The extruder can be used to press clay into a shape which you can then further assemble into something cool, like a coil bowl.
**'''Slab Work''' - The slab roller takes a chunk of clay and flattens it to a consistent thickness (or you can use a rolling pin too!). You can use this slab of clay to assemble all sorts of pieces, including boxes, vases, cups, tiles, etc.. You can use cookie cutters, knives, and other tools to cut shapes and designs into your slab pieces. Again, your imagination is the limit.
*'''Trim and Finalize the Piece'''
**Let the piece you’ve made dry to the leather / leather hard stage. This can take up to a couple days, depending on the thickness of the piece, the temperature and humidity in the studio, and how tightly the piece is covered while drying. You’ll want to check on it every day or two to monitor it so you know when it is dry enough. At this point, you can easily trim, carve, clean up minor mistakes, and further refine the piece prior to the first firing.
*'''First Firing - Bisque Firing'''
**The first firing is the bisque firing. This firing removes the majority of the moisture from the piece and prepares it for glazing. Once bisqued, the piece is transformed into a stone-like substance that can no longer be wetted and turned back into wet clay or recycled.
**We bisque fire to Cone 04 (low fire).
*'''Apply Glaze'''
**After bisquing, the piece is very dry and will readily absorb glaze. You can paint glaze directly onto your piece, or you can dip part or all of your piece into a bucket of glaze. This stage is super fun and full of possibilities, as you can combine different glazes in creative ways to get really cool results.
*'''Second Firing - Glaze Firing'''
**This is the final firing which finishes your piece. This firing finishes the piece and the glaze melts and turns into a glassy coating on the surface.
**We glaze fire to Cone 5 (mid/high fire, not to be confused with 06 which is low fire).

==Ceramics Studio Safety==

Safety in the Ceramics Studio falls into two main areas. The first has to do with managing dust and the silica that is naturally present in clay. The second has to do with general tool and studio safety, most of which is common sense.

'''Clay Dust and Silica - What you Should Know'''

*Clay dust is very fine, much finer than normal household dust. Fine particles of clay dust containing silica can hang in the air for many hours or several days without filtration and/or circulating fresh air from outdoors. You cannot see the dust in the air, but it is still there.
*Long-term repetitive exposure to silica causes fluid buildup and scar tissue in the lungs that reduces your ability to breathe. This can lead to lung scarring and cough, weight loss, and fatigue.
*http://www.lung.org/lung-health-and-diseases/lung-disease-lookup/silicosis/
*While the risk is greatest for workers in industries handling silica containing materials, it is still important to minimize exposure in the ceramics studio.

'''How to Minimize Exposure to Dust and Silica in the Studio'''

*No sanding of any type is allowed in the ceramics studio.
*Dust control is key to minimizing exposure, and water is your friend. Wet clay doesn’t make dust and is harmless. Follow these tips to help mitigate exposure to yourself and your fellow ceramicists (remember, dust can hang in the air for a very long time):
**Don’t sweep the floor in the ceramics studio! The floor should be wet mopped to pick up and remove dust from the floor.
**Use a damp sponge to clean up work tables and surfaces, rinsing frequently to remove dust from the sponge.
**Trim your pieces while they are still in the leather / leather hard stage. If your piece has dried beyond that stage and you still wish to trim / sand the piece, be sure and do so outdoors with the wind at your back.
**Wear a tight fitting mask or respirator when doing work that produces dust.

<center>''Updated: 6/6/2018''</center>

==General Studio Safety Guidelines==

*As in the rest of the Makerspace: Be Not on Fire
*Keep safely away from the kiln while in operation
*Do not look into the kiln while in operation without protective glasses
*Don’t leave tools, especially pointy sharp ones, in buckets of water or the sink

<center>''Updated: 6/6/2018''</center>

==General Ceramics Studio Policies==

In order to meet our MakeICT credo of '''Be Excellent to Each Other''', we ask that all users of the ceramics studio adhere to the following:

*'''Cleaning'''
**Please leave the studio cleaner than you found it.
**As always, be careful that you are not creating dust while cleaning, but picking it up with a wet sponge or mop.
**Clean any tools or equipment that you use and put them away or on the drying rack as appropriate.
**Clean any bits of leftover clay, etc., off of the work tables using the large sponge so they are ready for the next person to use. Get the sponge wet, wring it out well, and wipe down the surface. Rinse the sponge frequently, being sure to wring it out well so that you don’t over-wet the surface so it has to dry for a very long time.
**Look and pick up any loose bits of clay that fall on floor around the area you are working before you leave and toss them in the trash (not the recycling). Doing so while the clay is still wet means those bits of clay don’t dry and create dust in the future as people walk on them.
**The floor should only be wet mopped to remove dust and clay build up. Do not use a broom on the floor. The mop bucket is located in the front closet between the bathrooms.
*'''Sink / Sink Drain'''
**Take extra care not to allow large amounts of clay to go down the sink drain. We have a trap on the drain to catch clay so we don’t clog the drain, but the best way to avoid clogging the drain, is to avoid letting lots of clay go down the drain in the first place.
*'''Used Clay Recycling'''
**We recycle Cone 5-6 (mid/high fire) B-mix clay used in the studio. This recycled clay is used for Ceramics Nights events, and is generally available for free for anyone to use to experiment and learn how to work with clay in the studio. Read more about the type of clay used in the studio below in the Consumables section.
**Put your over-dry or mostly dry pieces of clay in one of the recycling buckets next to the sink. Examples would be a bowl you were throwing on the wheel that didn’t turn out, a leather hard piece you don’t want to keep and bisque or the trimmings from your leather hard pieces.
**Put slip and really wet / sloppy bits of clay into the bucket in or next to the sink.
*'''Storing Personal Belongings'''
**We have very limited storage space in the studio. There are shelves available for rent, as well as lockers in the hallway. Other than your work in progress on the drying rack, everything else must be taken home or put on a shelf / locker that you pay for.
**'''All items left in the studio must have your name on them.''' Anything left in the studio without a name on it is free for public use and/or recycling.
*'''Leaving Work Pieces Too Long'''
**We have very limited storage space for works-in-progress. Pieces left in the studio for more than 30 days will become property of the studio and may be recycled, disposed of, or finished and sold at consignment to benefit the studio. It is the members responsibility to check on the status of work pieces and collect them after firing. We will post on the official MakeICT forum each time we fire the kiln, including pictures when possible, to serve as notice pieces are ready.
*'''Identification of Work Pieces'''
**Work pieces should be identified while in the studio:
***'''Greenware''' (un-bisqued pieces in progress or drying) - Put your name and the date on a piece of masking tape and place it on the ware board (drying board) or bat that your piece is drying on while on the shelves.
***'''Bisqueware''' (bisque fired pieces ready to be glazed) - Before you fire your pieces, unless it is impractical because of the design or size of the piece, you should put your name / makers mark on the bottom of your piece. Underglaze pencils are provided that will let you write your name on the bottom of bisqued pieces without risk of sticking to the kiln shelf during the glaze fire.

<center>''Updated: 3/15/2022''</center>

==Tools / Consumables==

'''Allowed Clay'''

*We use Cone 5 (mid/high fire) B-mix clay in the studio. We recycle clay used in the studio to be frugal and awesome. Please don’t bring in outside clay or unknown clay types into the studio because it can contaminate the clay we are recycling yielding unexpected results or failure in the kiln. To make this easy for everyone, we have 25 pound blocks of clay available for purchase in the studio for $15.50 each.
*You are welcome to buy Cone 5 B-mix clay from Evan’s Ceramics and bring it to use if you like.
*You can bring in and use other clays which fire to Cone 5, such as a red clay body, however you need to follow these guidelines:
**Do not work directly with colored clay on the work tables. There is a special canvas covered work board for you to use to prevent colored clays from contaminating the work tables.
**Do not put outside / colored clay into the recycling buckets. It will contaminate the recycled clay making it unusable for others.
**Be sure and clean and rinse tools used with outside / colored clay separate from the rinse and slip buckets in the sink, since some of that clay may enter the recycling stream.

'''Allowed Glaze'''

*Several glazes are made available in the studio for use. '''Glazes are not free.''' Glazes cost $1.00 per ounce. Make payment in the blue payment box.
*There are small 1oz plastic containers in the cabinet you can use to measure out an ounce of glaze at a time to use on your pieces. This makes it easy to figure the cost of the glaze you use.
*To prevent contamination, please don’t pour used glaze back into the original containers. You can always add more glaze to your plastic painting cup if you run low.
*We fire everything to Cone 5 (remember 05 is not 5), so most glazes that fire to Cone 5-6 are perfectly fine to bring in and use on your pieces. If you’re shopping at Evan’s Ceramics, be sure and read the bottle the glaze came in and see that it says Cone 5 or 6 on it, and the instructions don’t have any special requirements for temperature or timing / hold times. Most all of the high-fire glazes there can be used here, and we buy our glazes there.
*Low-fire glazes can be used as under glazes, with a layer of high-fire clear or other glaze over the top, to come up with interesting patterns and effects on your pieces.

'''Bags / Paper Towels'''

*Bags to cover your pieces are available in the studio. It’s great to reuse bags, however when they start to get a heavy coating of clay on them it’s time to get a new one to help control dust.
*We provide terry cloth towels that you can use which we'll rewash. Paper Towels are also provided, please use them sparingly to help control costs.

'''Tools'''

*All the tools you need to work on your project are provided in the studio. You can bring your own of course. Community tools are located under the work tables and on the shelves. Be sure and clean everything and put it on the drying rack when you are through.

'''Specific Tools / Special Instructions'''

*'''Diamond Grinding Disc''' - The grinding disc is a wet-grinding disc that you can use to smooth the bottom of your pieces after they have been glaze fired to flatten the bottom so they sit smoothly and to prevent them from scratching the furniture you set them on. '''It is important to always use water on the disc when grinding.''' It takes very little force to use the disc. Please [https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba2Jk7CF5Sg/ watch this short video] for a super quick primer before using the disc for the first time. You can read more about the disc on [https://diamondcoretools.com/products/8-diamond-grinding-disc the manufacturer's website].

==Resources==

'''Glaze Sample Tiles / Cups'''
[[File:Ceramics SampleTilesBeforeFiring.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Sample tiles before firing.]]We have sample tiles / cups for each of the glazes we stock in the studio to show what different glazes look like when they are fired. You can reference [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14nF5QFZqj_Tr13uHerE63TOFChxpxhJ3N_8xg_leuVQ/edit?usp=sharing the spreadsheet] to see the details about the glazes in the studio, including an special instructions.

'''Mixing / Layering Glazes'''

There are endless variations possible, and lots of stunning results can be had, when layering or mixing glazes.

*'''Layering''' - While there is no way to truly predict how glazes react and act in the kiln, you can get some ideas of successful layering combinations by checking out some of the layering charts in the studio, or taking a look at the [https://www.amaco.com/glazes-and-underglazes/layering#top_glaze=273&page=2&bottom_glaze=273 Glaze Layering page on the AMACO website] ''(most of the glazes we make available in the studio are AMACO glazes)''. Their page is interactive, letting you pick the top and bottom glazes to find sample images.
*'''Mixing'''[[File:Content celadon-brochure-pg4-only.jpg|100px|thumb|right|[https://s3.amazonaws.com/amacobrent/home/deploy/amaco/releases/20170130020451/public/ckeditor_assets/attachments/1359/celadon-brochure-pg4-only.pdf AMACO Celadon clay mixing ideas chart.]]] - When it comes to mixing, anything is possible and the outcomes can be rather unpredictable. The adventure is yours! If you turn out some really fine examples and want to share, post them to the forum to share!
*'''Lightening''' - If you want to lighten one of the AMACO Celadon glazes, you can use the AMACO Mixing Clear, glaze #23 on our chart. Refer to the Soften section [https://s3.amazonaws.com/amacobrent/home/deploy/amaco/releases/20170130020451/public/ckeditor_assets/attachments/1359/celadon-brochure-pg4-only.pdf on this flyer] for examples of the percent mix to achieve the lightening results.

===Hoheisel’s invitation to join and help Cure Violence Global===

*Rustin Atkeisson attended the 1st session
*The initiative sounds like a great way to give youth someone to talk to
*It sounded like paid staff with office space would have to be present at MakeICT for them to interact with local youth.

*WIll reach out to Hoheisel and ask him to keep us in mind for future volunteer activities

==New Business==

Motion to approve the minutes for November, December, and January as long as links to documents are fixed. 2nd by LaDeana

Vote: 5 approve, 0 abstain
Vote Passes

===Roof Funding===

*As a last resort, finance committee and the treasurer would like to explore taking out a loan for the roof should we need to get the roof immediately (this does not mean taking out a loan at this point)
*Have had an insurance adjuster recently look at the roof and has verified that the roof is near the end of it’s life and has several pages of recorded storms that produced hail damage in the area
*Would need to sign an agreement with the insurance adjuster before finding out how much insurance might pay to help repair the roof
*We are still committed to doing whatever fundraising we can to avoid taking out a loan but we are still a ways off from the six figure amount needed to pay for the roof
*Did reach out to our insurance and notified them of our need for a claim
*Todd Kelly will be out Monday to look at the roof

===Ceramics Studio Access Policy Update===

*Link to current ceramic studio wiki page: https://wiki.makeict.org/wiki/Ceramics_Area
*Ceramics studio does not currently have an access policy
*Gaye would like to add an access policy for the ceramics studio by adding the following lines:
**Use of the Ceramics Studio requires attendance in the area authorization

class. Completion of the authorization class will grant access to the area and use of the equipment…

Operation of the kiln is limited to the Ceramics Studio Lead, Assistant

Lead(s), and their designees.

*Main concern is the maintenance of the ceramics studio and not the safety
*Authorization Classes would be offered on more than just Tuesday nights
*Link to proposed access policy: Ceramics Area Policy

*Proposed Policy update to wiki page:
**Use of the Ceramics Studio requires attendance in the area authorization class. Completion of the authorization class will grant access to the area and use of the equipment.
**Operation of the kiln is limited to the Ceramics Studio Lead, Assistant Lead(s), and their designees.
**Members that have been using the ceramics studio prior to 2/16/2023 are authorized but are encouraged to contact the area lead and have a 1 on 1 session to answer any questions or concerns.

*Mike Barushok recommends updating the policy to be similar to textiles
*Recommend tabling the policy until the next boarding where we can do a review of the final form of the policy

===Minor Maker Safety Committee===

*Would like to change the age of when people can receive a badge
*Major concern of unattended children
**3 parents have left minors have left children unattended with no idea of where their children are or up to
**A 4th left their children at the space unattended past midnight
*Curfew Law
**City covers this issue - children under 15 are not allowed to be unattended in public spaces past midnight
*On behalf of Membership Committee: Membership would like to clarify that members under the age of 16 need to be escorted by an adult in the same room
*Minor Maker Safety Recommends changing the minimum age to have a badge from 16 to 18 years of age
**Modify Standing Rule for Membership:
***Minors are allowed to become members, but require sponsorship by an adult. A parent or legal guardian must co-sign the minor's membership application and release of liability. Minors under the age of 16 need to be accompanied by an adult whenever at the space. Keys are available to members over the age of 16, following the key policy.
**Proposed Update:
***Minors need to be accompanied by an adult whenever at the space. Keys are available to members 18 and older, following the key policy. Minor members with badge access before 1-1-23 will retain adult privileges.
***Link to proposition: https://wiki.makeict.org/wiki/Minor_Making_Suggested_Policy_Changes
*Gary requests to table the discussion since a motion is not present
*Doug motions that we amend the standing rule for membership to the following:

“Minors need to be accompanied by an adult whenever at the space. Keys are available to members 18 and older, following the key policy. Minor members with badge access before 1-1-23 will retain adult privileges.”

**2nd by LaDeana
**5 against. The motion Fails

===Bee Kind Policy===

*Bee Kind requests changing agreement for Bee Kind Committee to allow for the storage and use of bee hives on MakeICT property.
**Link to proposition: https://wiki.makeict.org/wiki/Bee_Kind_Committee_Suggested_Policy_Changed
*Doug motions to consider having bee hives on MakeICT property per Bee Kind’s request with additional blueprints and research.
*2nd By LaDeana
*5 against. The motion fails

===Gallery===

*Dean asks that everyone gets their stuff out of the gallery by the 21st. It is in everyone’s best interest to remove their projects before children from USD259 are present the 21st-23rd.
*Rustin would like to load Dean’s video to facebook to share what was in the gallery.

===Board entered executive session===

===Board exited executive session===

Code of Conduct

2023-02-25T00:02:09Z

James Lancaster: Update policy to match Dec 15th change

=Code of Conduct=
==Shorter version==

MakeICT is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, age, race, religion, or genetic information. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.

This code of conduct applies to all MakeICT spaces, including the physical makerspace, websites, forum, event locations, and any other spaces, both online and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Some MakeICT spaces have additional rules in place, which will be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules.

==Longer version==

MakeICT is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.

This code of conduct applies to all MakeICT spaces, including the physical makerspace, website, forum, event locations, and any other spaces, both online and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Some MakeICT spaces have additional rules in place, which will be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules.
Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

* Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, religion, or genetic information.
* Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.
* Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names.
* Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where they’re not appropriate.
* Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a request to stop.
* Threats of violence.
* Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
* Deliberate intimidation.
* Stalking or following.
* Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes.
* Sustained disruption of discussion.
* Unwelcome sexual attention.
* Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
* Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
* Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse.
* Publication of non-harassing private communication.
MakeICT prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over people’s comfort. The Board of Directors reserves the right not to act on complaints regarding:
* ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
* Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.”
* Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
* Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions

===Reporting===

If you are being harassed by a member of or participant at MakeICT, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the Board of Directors at either report@makeict.org or https://makeict.org/report/ . If the person who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can.

This code of conduct applies to MakeICT spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of MakeICT outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by MakeICT members, or participants, seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The Board of Directors reserves the right to exclude people from MakeICT based on their past behavior, including behavior outside MakeICT spaces and behavior towards people who are not in MakeICT spaces.

We reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be filed without response.

We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. Investigations will be kept as confidential as possible. At our discretion, the results of substantiated investigations may be made public if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of MakeICT members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent. Nothing in this section precludes contacting the police or other legal authorities when indicated.

===Consequences===

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, The Board of Directors may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all MakeICT spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to other MakeICT members or the general public.

===License and attribution===

This anti-harassment policy is based on the example policy from the Geek Feminism wiki, created by the Geek Feminism community. (http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Community_anti-harassment) It is public domain, no credit and no open licensing of your version is required.

Gallery

2023-01-24T01:21:11Z

James Lancaster:

== General Information ==
The MakeICT Gallery is a shared space; it has always been a shared space.

The MakeICT Gallery is a juried space. The jury is the Gallery Committee with, as needed, outside advice.

Statements of direction:

Acceptable works:

# Original works created by MakeICT members.
# Derivative works created by MakeICT members .
# Original works created by non MakeICT members.
# other works.

Note issues concerning intellectual property and or fair use will be the responsibility of the creator.

Works will be accepted into the MakeICT gallery under these conditions:

# Works will be accepted for a specified duration. 2 Works will only be accepted when they are gallery ready 2a Gallery ready works will have a written creator/artist statement 2b Gallery ready works will have appropriate mounting and furniture such that the work can be displayed in a professional workman like manner.
# A signed written contract will be in place before a work is accepted.
# Works left for more than 60 days beyond the end of the contract will be abandoned, with prejudice. 4a. Abandoned work will either be sold for the sole benefit of MakeICT or broken up and thrown in the trash.

There is a long standing tradition of makers and making that draws from the

Arts and Crafts movement

Bauhaus School of Design

MakeICT

I have not used the terms Art, Artist, Craft, Craftsman, as MakeICT gallery will draw from the above traditions for guidance.

The MakeICT Gallery is the interface between MakeICT and the Wichita Community, the fundamental goal is to show what Makers at MakeICT can create.

== Equipment Access Policy ==
'''THIS POLICY IS NOT YET APPROVED OR OFFICIAL and is under construction'''

=== All Equipment ===

* Pedestals, and other mounts to be used to display works will remain in the show room.

Finally, is HIGHLY recommended that we use a buddy system, where no single person is working in the shop without a second person in the building so that if there is an injury, somebody else is there to call for help or assist you.

== Borrowing Items ==

== Items for Purchase ==
Works will be accepted for sale using the standard 80/20 split with 20% to MakeICT

Items can be marked NFS not for sale

== Component Library ==

== Classes ==

* The gallery/showroom will sponsor classes and lectures related to art in Wichita

== Safety ==

== Equipment List ==

* Policies may change with the needs of the department and may go into affect before this page is updated to reflect it.

If you are being harassed by a member of or participant at MakeICT, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the Board of Directors at either report@makeict.org or https://makeict.org/report/ . If the person who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can.

This code of conduct applies to MakeICT spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of MakeICT outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by MakeICT members, or participants, seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The Board of Directors reserves the right to exclude people from MakeICT based on their past behavior, including behavior outside MakeICT spaces and behavior towards people who are not in MakeICT spaces.

We reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be filed without response.

We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of MakeICT members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.

===Consequences===

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, The Board of Directors may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all MakeICT spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to other MakeICT members or the general public.
