Tossed and expired pottery 7.17.2024

Hello DMS Potters,

Please be sure to get your pottery items before they expire. We hate throwing away items you’ve spent time crafting.

REMINDER
We allow 30 days for your clay item to be on the In-Progress shelves.

         **TIME LIMITS IN CERAMICS DEPARTMENT**

ITEMS ON BATS is 7 DAYS
Please try to return within 7 days to move your item from the bat to a board.
If a project is on DMS bats over 7 days, we will attempt to wire off your project
and place on a ware board. Thankfully, we have not had any issues with doing
this yet, but mishaps can happen.

ADDITIONAL RULES IN THE CERAMICS SPACE

  • If you have a glaze that will run, please provide your own cookie before it goes in the kiln.
  • If you have not allowed an unglazed bottom and abottom edge of 1/4", please provide your own cookie.
  • Bisqueware should not be stored on In-Progress shelves. If noted, you will have 7 days to remove it before it is discarded.
  • If your project contains added items, like copper, toothpicks, or newspaper…the piece won’t be fired unless these items are removed. Basically, anything that might cause damage to or influence other pieces in the kiln will likely not be fired.
  • If you haven’t seen your piece come out of the kiln, please check the NEEDS ATTENTION shelf near the kilns.

Just checking – was that 2 different pictures? Or did Talk hiccup and just double up the one picture?

@Bri_Gearhart – is that it? This is dated for 7/17, so I suspect that it’s gone.

Yeah, it was the roses. Damn. I was hoping he didn’t lose his work. Ugh…
I didn’t even see this post. :frowning:

Wait, it says it has 7 days and was just posted two days ago. So would that mean it is gone today?

(Putting this here as well so others can read.)
The 7 days applies to thrown ware on a plastic bat. And those pieces will get moved to one of the wooden ware boards (with their original date/tape on the ware board). Pieces have 30 days from their original making date before they get tossed.

It’s a no warning system. I think we take the pics so that folks know that their piece is gone.

Just saw this thread. Sorry. Looks like your original date was 6/6.
