Please bring

Cut this to 9x12, 8x10, 11x14” sizes (you can do this at the workshop)

Viva brand is the best, for its softness

Pastels and sanded papers

Soft pastels, Nupastels, and sanded papers are not available in Stillwater.

In OKC, Porch School and Art Supply (near 50th & Santa Fe) carries some hard and soft pastels and sanded papers. (A great art supply place, by the way.)

In Tulsa, Ziegler’s carries some hard and soft pastels and sanded papers.

Or you can order pastels and sanded papers online: Terry Ludwig (www.terryludwig.com), Dakota Pastels,

Dick Blick, Jerry’s Artarama, Cheap Joe’s.

Yes, soft pastels are expensive, but they last a very long time. And they're wonderful!

If you can, get at least a few colors to try.

1. Soft pastel brands:

Terry Ludwig Sennelier

Unison Great American

Schmincke Diane Townsend

Mount Vision Girault

Henri Roche Holbein

Richeson Handrolled

Rembrandts are harder than most soft pastel brands, but will work.

I use mainly Terry Ludwigs and a smattering of the other brands.

2. Hard pastel brands:

Nupastels

Gallery (not preferred but will do)

3. Sanded papers:

I use mainly Art Spectrum's ColourFix paper, dark colors. I buy the large 19x27" sheets and cut them into smaller sizes.

I'll have ColourFix large sheets on hand for the workshop, in Aubergine (cool violet gray) and Burnt Umber (warm dark brown). You can buy these at my cost. (Should be about $10 each.) You’ll need 1-2 large sheets. We’ll cut them to 9/12”, 8x10” 11x14” sizes at the workshop

You are welcome to bring your own paper, if you prefer; just please be sure it is sanded paper.

Other brands of sanded paper:

Some of these are light in color. Light-colored paper is not my preference, but you may like it. Or underpaint on it first, to tone it.

UArt (400 or 500 grit recommended)

Lux Archival

PastelMat

Student Information, Pottery 2024

Welcome to the Prairie Arts Pottery Studio! This is a fun and exciting studio, but unlike a private studio this a community space. For a community art space we have some guidelines to follow.

These guidelines will help us work together and insure safety as we use chemicals, and risk of contaminating materials is high. We ask that you carefully read the following so that we know

that you understand procedures and regulations.

Ceramic Studio Upkeep

For the benefit of all patrons, we ask that participants leave their workspace in the condition they found it at the beginning of their class/studio time. Please help us maintain our facility by

washing clay off your hands in the classroom sinks (not in the rest rooms) and by placing clay scraps in the appropriate recycling bucket (not down the drain). The ceramics studio instructor

will need to approve that your area is clean before you may check out at the Front Desk.

• Cover and place work on assigned shelves for storage. Students are allowed either half a shelf for Wheel 1 and Handbuilding classes or one shelf for Wheel 2 classes. You may not move your shelves

around in the studio space.

• Wipe down work area and tools.

Wash the tables Canva Banner

• Clean all parts of the pottery wheel, as applicable, including the center table.

• Place stool on top of wheel head.

• Turn wheels off after use.

• Participants must carve their name into every work of art they make. Your piece will not be fired if your name is not on your piece. Make sure it is in a place that glaze will not cover.

• Make sure you have tags for your shelf after signing up for open studio.

• Glazing instructions on containers must be read carefully and adhered to.

• No outside clay, bisque, or glazed pieces are allowed, nor do we allow clay to be taken out of the studio and brought back in to fire, etc. This is very important as damage to equipment can

occur.

• Personal glazes must be signed off on by an instructor or Prairie Arts Center staff.

• Use designated glazing & wedging tables to minimize cross contamination of chemicals in the clay.

• If using the Hot Box, please make sure to turn it off once you are done using it and/or at the end

of the night.

Ceramic Studio Safety

• Students are not allowed in the kiln room or clay room.

• Participants are not permitted to open, add, or remove pieces from the kilns.

• Personal music devices are allowed when used with headphones. Please be respectful of others and keep the volume at a considerate level

• We strongly recommend that jewelry be left at home. Working with clay usually demands that rings and watches be removed.

• The PAC is not responsible for items lost during classes.

• No outside clay, bisque, or glazed pieces are allowed.

• Clay may not be taken home and brought back for firing.

• All clay must labeled with student name, date, and type of clay. After 60 days your clay will be

reclaimed if it has not been used.

• Tools are provided for Intro students. However, Open Studio participants need to provide any tools or equipment they need for their projects.

• You must ask instructors to use their tools during open studio time, and please return tools in the condition you found them in.

• When you are in open studio and there is a class going on, leave the teaching to the instructor

and do not interfere.

30 Day Firing Policy

Fired pieces must be picked up within 30 days of the final firing. Pieces not collected within 30 days of this date will be considered abandoned, become the property of PAC, and may be discarded

or sold to support the scholarship fund. Fired pieces may only be picked up during Studio hours. Once your introduction class is finished, you have the opportunity to enroll in Instructional Open

Studio. If you choose not to, you may finish pieces that are in process, but no new projects maybe started. Your shelf needs to be cleaned off no later than one week after your class has ended.

If you choose not to pick up your work, it becomes property of PAC.

All lockers are the property of PAC. They are available on a first come/first served basis for Open Studio participants. Lockers are available to students currently enrolled in a

pottery class. After your class is over, if you aren't enrolling for another, please clean and empty out your locker. Please do not use the lockers marked Staff.

Day rate and Monthly rates

• Day rate is $10 a day and you will have access to half a shelf. You must add the current date to your half shelf with tape daily in the studio.

• Month rate is $85 and you will have access to half a cart (three shelves) and a locker (first come first serve, no guarantee).

Disability Access

Prairie Arts Center is wheelchair accessible. Please advise the Center’s Manager of any special accommodations that may be required. If students are in need of any special accommodations

for access, they should advise their instructor or PAC staff.

All Participants Must Sign Yearly.

Date:________________

By participating in the pottery studio, you agree to the guidelines outlined above. PAC members

who fail to abide by these rules may be asked to not attend.

I _______________________________________(member name) agree to abide by the Prairie Arts guidelines for working in the pottery studio. I understand that if I fail to follow these rules,

my privileges may be revoke

Pop-Up Cards

Pop-up cards are a favorite at Prairie Arts Center. Here are a few pro tips for your pop-up project at home: Make sure you don’t cut your supports too thin or too long. You want them stable. Also, avoid making your cut-outs so big they break the line of the card when it’s folded. That one is less important if you don’t care about putting it in an envelope. Most importantly, be creative and have fun!

I MADE ART is a small works exhibition of Stillwater elementary schools student art that will be displayed at Prairie Arts Center from mid April to mid May in conjunction with the 2023 Stillwater Arts Festival. I MADE ART takes its inspiration from conceptual artist On Kawara's decade long postcard series, I GOT UP. From 1968 to 1979, Kawara sent two postcards a day to friends and colleagues with a time stamp of when he "got up." Kawara's work is a meditation on time, existence, and the relationship between art and life. The subject matter and media of the work in I MADE ART was left open in hopes of revealing each student's personal relationship with art-making. In order to honor the process of making over the final product, this exhibition is not juried and will not be judged. The student artwork in I MADE ART is also time stamped with the time of day that they made their artwork so that each piece can be read as a marker of time itself, fleeting but embodied.

Please help us in saying THANK YOU to our supporters. The City of Stillwater, Visit Stillwater, and the Arts and Humanities Council of Stillwater guided and supported us through the entire process of the festival. The Arts and Humanities Council of Stillwater provided dinner, lunch, and snacks for our artists throughout the festival. The City of Stillwater sponsored the music and organized all the entertainment. Local artists Mo Wassell and Jaqui Savage created our beautiful awards for our award winners. Mitchell Alcala volunteered his photography services for both days. BancFirst donated water bottles to the artists, volunteers, and staff. Hideaway Pizza donated lunch on Saturday for the artists. HTea0 provided tea for both days. Visit Stillwater awarded us a grant to go toward marketing material for the festival. The art teachers and students of our elementary schools (Richmond, Westwood, Sangre Ridge, Skyline, Will Rogers and Highland Park) made the beautiful "I Made Art" exhibition happen. And finally, last but definitely not least, a big thank you to the students and instructors here at the Prairie Arts Center. They have stepped up and helped in many ways, and we appreciate all of their support. Our pottery studio instructors, interns, and students have thrown a total of 150 bowls for us to sell and Raku!

Without all of this support, we couldn't have done it! THANK YOU!

New Year Inspiration Banner

Part vision board, part prayer flags, the inspiration banner is a beautiful expression of what you'd like to call in to your life for the new year. Consider words, symbols and images that are a visual reminder of qualities and experiences you want to see manifest. Your banner could be created with paper, like our example, or with pieces of fabric. You could collage, print, stamp, embroider, and/or paint your flags. No matter what materials you choose, this process will provide you with a non linear, creative way to clarify and work with your personal vision for the future!
