It is imperative that all students are dressed appropriately for their own safety and the safety of others. For any activity, participants are required to wear:   Comfortable and Natural Fiber Clothing Natural fibers are necessary because synthetic fibers (such as spandex or polyester) can be highly flammable and are prone to melting when encountering the very high temperatures of hot glass, furnaces, tabletop torches, and kilns. Anything that hangs away from the body like long necklaces, scarves, ties, or oversized cardigans, etc should be left at home or removed before class. Jeans and t-shirts are great. Clothing that Covers the Abdomen and Thighs Shorts are discouraged or should be at least knee-length. Flat and Closed-toe Shoes Flip flops, sandals, open-back shoes, or crocs are not permitted. Something with a textured sole isn't absolutely necessary, but certainly helpful. Hair Tied Back Hair that hangs forward, covers eyes, or can be tied back should be tied back. Safety Glasses The use of our studios requires the use of safety glasses while participating. We provide these for student use, but participants are allowed to bring their own. Individuals not adhering to the clothing and footwear requirements will NOT be able to participate in class.
