If we cancel your course or session for any reason we will do our best to organise an alternative date within a reasonable period of time. If this is not possible, or you are unable to attend an alternative date, we will refund the full purchase price.

Clay

We provide the clay in the sessions. We only fire the allocated amount for this session. If you decide to use your own clay you will still only be able to have the allocated amount fired. Any extra will need a private kiln hire.

We only allow potters to finish a project if they have missed 1-2 consecutive sessions. Please do not ask to take work away from the studio to carry on with then return to the studio expecting it to be fired. We do not want to offend by refusing.
