SPG has Reopened for Open Studio*

a VolunteerLocal reservation is required

*You MUST have been an active SPG member/student prior to the Covid shut-down

(We will welcome new SPG participants when we start teaching classes again)

Open Studio Participants are still required to follow our Sanitization Procedures, wear a Mask, and practice diligent Social Distancing at all times.

If you're not already registered with us through VolunteerLocal (VL), you'll be prompted to submit your contact information, which is required to Reserve an Open Studio Time slot (OST).

Please allow a few days for us to confirm your open studio elegibility and update your VL profile permissions,

at which time you should be able to select OST on VL.

You will also need to 'check-in' through VL once you arrive; the Open Studio Monitor (OSM) can assist with ckeck-in.

VolunteerLocal notes:

• To reserve OST or any other event, you must first complete the 'SPG VL Registration
• To reserve OST or any other event, you must visit our 'VL Reservation' page in a Web Browser (chrome, safari, firefox, edge etc...)
• You cannot view OST slots, SPG Events, or reserve OST through the app.
• However, the VL App (iOS & Android) is the best way to View, Check-In to, or Cancel your existing reservations.
• There will always be a link to our VL Reservation Page on the 'Home' page and 'Open Studio' pages of our website www.SpokanePottersGuild.org

We've made significant changes to the Open Studio Processes, so please read the information below:

• MASKS ARE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY & OPEN STUDIO PARTICIPATION
• We're now offering Open Studio in 2-hour increments.
• You must reserve your Open Studio Time in advance through VolunteerLocal, more information below.
• You are responsible for cancelling your OS Reservation in advance if you cannot attend your reservation.
• You must check-in to your Open Studio Reservation, through VolunteerLocal, when you arrive.
• As always, the monthly OS fee is due when you arrive at SPG for the first time each month.  ($35/month unless discounted due to Covid.)
• You must have been an active open studio member before the quarantine.
• With the mandated occupancy reduction, we have a 5-person limit, so there will be slots for 4 OS Participants in each 2-hour block.
• Please be mindful that we have many participants eager to use the studio again, so for the moment we're limiting OS Registrations to 1 per day per person, however . . .
• If you are already at the studio for your scheduled OS reservation, and if there is open availability in the next time slot, you can register for that next time slot and extend your OS time into the next 2-hour block.
