Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Brent model 16 Adaptive/Accessible Potter’s wheel makes throwing on a wheel possible for persons in a wheel chair. It will also provide an alternative to the potters who prefer to throw standing up due to back pain or injuries. 2. Brent CXC and stool: We are currently borrowing a local potter’s wheel and are in need of permanently replacing that wheel with an additional potter’s wheel for people to use while classes are in session.We will monitor use of the new wheels and record how often they are being used. This information will be tracked annually. We have regular communication with studio users and gather opinions regularly.

Measurable Outcome(s)
