Q: Is there a fee to work at Ellis Park?
A: Yes.
If you are a student at Ellis Park the fee is $20.00 per month and
this includes all of your firings, but not your supplies ie;
greenware, bisque, paints, supplies. This fee covers what I have to
pay to rent the room and the electricity to fire the kilns there and
some of my travel expenses.

Q: Can I leave my pieces at Ellis Park while I am working on them?
A: Yes, but there is very limited space and it is first come first
serve. Also I am not responsible for pieces left in there, if
anyone else should come in and look/touch/break them. I do my best
to remind people not to touch things that do not belong to them.

Q: How long does it take to finish a project?
A: This is a very flexible timeline. What I can do in a few hours
(clean and paint for example) might take you a whole session to
clean and another session or more to paint.
Firing a piece needs 2 days, one day to fire and overnight to let
the kiln cool down before I can open it. Firings are once a week at
Ellis Park and the kilns need to be started at the beginning of
class so they they shut down before the park closes. So if you leave
a piece to be fired FIRST THING on a Wednesday It won't be ready to
pick up until the FOLLOWING Wednesday.
