Service Description

A six-hour shift, the same day every week, moving members' work through the system: kilns, glazes, processing and reclaim. In exchange you get twelve hours of studio time that week. A committed role for more experienced makers, and the only role that fires the kilns. THE TERMS This is an exchange, not a job. You give the studio a shift and you get studio time back. There is no pay. What you give. One six-hour shift a week on the same day each week, including a 30-minute break. If you can't make a shift, cancel or reschedule it yourself from your Member Account at least 7 days before, and your place goes to the next person on the waitlist. What you get. 12 hours of studio access in the same week as your shift. It does not roll over and it does not accumulate. Work your shift that week and you have your twelve hours that week. Miss it and there is no access that week. After your first shift, email info@dalstonclay.com to request your plan. Booking. Book your own practice time through the normal system. You cannot drop in during programmed sessions without arranging it first. What is not included. Clay and firings are Weigh and Pay at the current rate, the same as everyone else. Kilns are yours. Firing is technicians only, and it is the main reason the shift is six hours rather than three. The studio's safety rules apply during your own practice time as well as your shift. Working with the Work Exchange. If a Work Exchange is in on your day, you are the person they will ask. You can see what the studio needs that day, so hand work out rather than leaving them to the list. It is not about managing anyone. It is about neither of you working alone. Turning up. Your day exists so the studio can plan around it. For planned time off, cancel as early as you can, and at least 7 days before. Inside 7 days, email info@dalstonclay.com as soon as you know. If something happens on the day, let us know before the shift starts. Ending it. Either of us can step away with a month's notice. We would end it immediately only for serious misconduct, repeated unreliability, or behaviour affecting someone else's safety or wellbeing. Who to contact. Barnaby, info@dalstonclay.com. WhatsApp for the day to day, email for anything about your arrangement.
