Where we will meet on Saturday

Dear Dianne,



It is an exciting time here at Pocosin Arts in the metals studio and I am working hard to gear up for the students that will arrive Monday morning for our first class of session one. I have copied your questions below and will include the answer after each one.



Does the Metals Guild still have use of the metal cabinet and was it moved into the metals studio?

The Metals Guild cabinet has not been moved into the studio and is still available for the guild to use. The torch is in the metals studio for safekeeping awaiting it’s new tank holder.





On Saturday, do we have use of the metals studio space?

The metals studio is in final prep for classes to begin on Monday and not ready for use.



What pieces of equipment are available to us?


Bruce has requested a flexible shaft and we will make one available for guild use at the meeting.



Are policies in place for studio hours beyond the guild meeting time?

Studio use policy is currently being established and revised for all of the Pocosin Arts studios including the new metals studio. We are working with other art centers similar to Pocosin Arts and reviewing their policies and talking with them about what works and what does not. We have not yet finished this process but after we do it will be presented for approval at the next Pocosin Arts Board meeting.



Who will open and close for us on Saturday?

I will be at Pocosin Arts on Saturday for the guild meeting and will give the guild members a tour of the new studio as well as an update on the February Metals show/sale.



What can we do to help?

Your patience as we finish putting the studio together as well as crafting a studio use policy is greatly appreciated.





See you Saturday,



Marlene
