Studio Update
The studio drying racks have been rearranged to accommodate work in progress clay pieces in the primary workroom. The drying racks have been repositioned along the perimeter of the studio work area. The reconfiguration continues to ensure HEPA puriied air flows unencumbered throughout the studio work space.
Please maintain the ten minute IN/OUT work in progress guidelines regardless of where your project is drying in the studio. Also please continue to sign in for 10 minute IN/OUT sessions. The studio limit remains 12 members maximum in the building at one time.
Additionally, please take a few minutes to post advance reservations in the This Week/Next Week reservation area located on the GCA homepage. By investing a few minutes upfront, a three-hour work session is assured as seasonal studio traffic increases.

Monitors
Thank you to both the monitor pool and general membership for stepping up to monitor this month. Without monitors, our studio simply doesn't function. We look forward to everyone's cooperation to continue to monitor through the rest of the year and into 2021. Your participation is greatly appreciated!
November Grand Lifestyles Magazine (page 26)
Just in case there is an outside chance that anyone in the state of Arizona has missed GCA's Grateful Hearts 400 plus hand-made hearts presentation to the Banner Del Web Hospital, our Publicity Director, Sharon Lucia, has covered that possibility. In the November Grand Lifestyles Magazine, Ms. Lucia scored a half-page article and photos of the presentation event. The images include the hospital's CEO, CFO, and CNO accepting the C-19 Grateful Hearts dedication during the onsite award ceremony.
5.5 Instant Mixer Workshops
The goal of the workshops is to bring together small groups of members for an afternoon of clay and conversation. Based on current success, the intention is to continue offering Instant Mixers into next year. Please check the website on a weekly basis for additional workshop updates!
