Mr. Mallory's Rules for using Clay

1. No throwing clay (this is not the zoo and you are not orangutans)


2. Please avoid getting clay or glaze ion other people's clothing or in their hair.


3. Please wedge the clay or work the clay, but do not slam the clay (this is ineffective in warming it up and making it more pliable and it is just plain annoying).


4. Please don't eat the clay (it may be true that clay is just mud, which is just dirt and water and "God made dirt and dirt don't hurt," but it could make you fairly ill, so ingesting any is ill-advised).


5. Please do not make anything that could be considered inappropriate for school:
   A) Overtly and graphiccally violent or occult.
   B) Alcohol, tobacco or illicit drug paraphernalia
   C) Anything sexually explicit, erotic, or suggestive.


6. And a new rule being added just this year because some kids seem to have a problem with it; Please do not draw or write on the tables with clay.
