Please mail to: Clay Guild of the Cascades (CGC), PO Box 172, Bend, OR., 97709.   Wildfire Policies Participation Requirements Membership in CGC is required to participate in Wildfire. If you are not already a member of CGC, please go to our website (http://www.clayguildofthecascades.com/), download a membership application and send it along with your Wildfire application. Unless work shown at Wildfire is 100% collaborative, each participant must have an individual membership, separate registration form, enough points to participate, do committee work and workshifts. Two participants may share a booth. Both will be assigned committee work and three workshifts. Committee Work and Workshifts Wildfire is a cooperative show with every member doing his/her part to produce the show. Production of Wildfire is a year-round commitment for many. Since that is not possible for everyone, committee work and workshifts are our opportunity to participate. Committee Work All booth participants are required to complete committee work. Committee chairs are responsible to contact members of their committee, assign jobs, follow up on job completion and report to Wildfire Chair and/or co-chair. Committee chairs receive points for performing their duties as chair. Committee work is assigned by Committee Placement chair Helen Bommarito. We try to assign work to accommodate your skills, but sometimes we end up learning new skills on jobs we did not expect. Workshifts Workshifts are jobs completed during Wildfire. Full, Half and Group Booth participants are required to complete three workshifts. Failure to fulfill a workshift assignment may result in a 5% increase in commission paid to Showcase. In cases of emergency, commission penalties will be at the discretion of the Steering Committee. Gallery Only Participants must work two workshifts during Wildfire. All Clay Guild of the Cascades members are invited to show one piece at a time in the gallery. At Wildfire Artists are encouraged to be present during Wildfire. They may not employ professional representatives or agents to market their work. Breakage During Wildfire Wildfire does not carry insurance to cover breakage or theft. Artists are encouraged to carry their own insurance. Wildfire will only consider payment for losses due to breakage which occurs due to participants acting in the performance of official Wildfire duties, such as wrapping, sales, aisle hosting or assisting customers. Wildfire will not cover missing pots or switched or altered price tags. Should work be damaged or broken, the Steering Committee will consider net payment (price after commission) to artist. NFS pottery is not eligible for reimbursement. Commissions and Payments All Wildfire sales must go through the centralized sales system, except artist-to-artist sales and trades. Wildfire is a commission-based show so booth fees would be low enough for everyone to participate. Commission for full and half booth participants is 15%. Commission for group booth and gallery only participants is 20%. Work Shift Sign up PLEASE FILL OUT IF YOU ARE APPLYING FOR A BOOTH, GROUP BOOTH OR IF YOU PLAN TO HAVE A PIECE IN THE GALLERY.
