Studio Guidelines

Space

  • Stuff in the way
    • Nobody knows who it is from & if it can be removed or not, so it stays forever.
    • Where can your stuff go?
      • Your work desk & cupboard
      • your personal, labeled, pallet box in the entrance if you have one.
    • Label these places!
    • Things without a label left in random places will be removed without warning.
  • Try to keep the space in operating condition:
    • Do not leave electronic devices plugged in over night (fire hazard!)
    • Keep the walkways marked in green lines free.
    • Avoid putting stuff in front of doors or things that need access.
    • Leave the trash bins in their place.
    • Take care for the space: If you're working on the floor (with plaster for example), put some paper on the floor to protect it.
    • Clean up after yourself: After work in the wood or metal atelier: swipe the work area and the floor.

Tools

  • Care: Use tools with knowledge and love. Ask for info if you don't know how to use them properly.
  • Return: Use a tool, and right after put it back, so others can use it too.
  • Yellow: All tools are marked in Yellow to show they're from 'De Zaal'. Please check that you don't accidentally bring them home.

Waste

  • Communal box: Leave valuable things here that others might use. Will be emptied at the end of the month when full.
  • Trash bins: paper, PMD, and rest waste. - Glass waste bin in the kitchen. Put bio waste in the closed rest waste bin in the kitchen. There are big IVAGO containers outside for paper, PMD, Glass and rest waste.
  • Wood: If you donate: please remove all metal (nails, screws) to avoid the saw blade becoming dull.
  • Big grey recycling boxes: Outside there are large grey pallet boxes for recycling wood, metal, plaster and stone.
  • Chemical waste: (paint, oil, thinner etc). Or spray paint, ... Don't put these in the regular trash. Find the right spot for it on the wooden pallet outside, or ask Elias.
  • No rest waste container: Let's try to throw away unnecessary things a few times per year instead of a big cleanup at the end of the year to avoid the container cost.
