Once his open hours are confirmed, I will add them up here

-I will be having open hours in the wood shop starting the third week. I will post them at the end of the second week. 

-Each student will be allotted two 1" x 2" x 8’ and two 1/4 rounds. 

-We are also trying something new, not giving out lump sums of canvas but rather dispensing to their build. If they build at 2 x 4 ft canvas they will receive enough to stretch. The ultimate limit of canvas available to anyone student is 3 yards. 

-We have gesso available for all students and can be accessed during open hours or to those of you with a wood shop key. 

-Demos: every student that wants to use the woods shop or is required by you to make a stretcher must take a demo. If the student has already taken a demo in the past, they must at least do a review of safety in the shop with me and sign a piece paper to that effect.  

Hazmat- Safety: Please impress upon your students the importance of labeling their solvents with: Name, Semester Year and Contents 

-Only rags/paper towels with oil or with solvent can be placed in the RED waste baskets. This is very important, so they don’t fill up to fast and lose their effectiveness. The pallet racks in both the advanced and large painting studio have been clear so please advise the students to use them. 

-Don’t forget to request a time for your classes wood shop demo. I will be fairly flexible next week but beyond that it may be hard to make time.
