Payment:

• Full payment is required in advance of the course.

• Courses include all materials, clay and glazes and we provide a range of tools and brushes.

• Firing costs are included in this course.

​

Firings and Costs:

• Problems with firings are part of ceramics and can be due to a variety of reasons. I will guide you through the making process and support you as much as possible. However, there are many reasons why pieces do not turn out as hoped or sometimes break in the kiln. These can be out of our control. The ultimate risk of failure lies therefore with you, although we do offer re-firings in case of glaze problems (where possible). 

• All pieces need to be completely dry ("bone dry") before firing otherwise there is a risk they will break in the kiln.

• Drying times vary with the general weather and range between 1 week in summer to up to 3 weeks in winter.

 

Sessions:

• Sessions last between 2 and 2.5 hours and students can select up to 3 pieces to be fired.

• Classes are for adults only (14 years and above) and children over 12 accompanied by an adult.

​

Collection of items:

• Your pieces will be stored for up to 2 months, unless agreed otherwise.

• After 2 months, we reserve the right to dispose of your items.

​

Food & Drink:

• Mr Health and Mrs Safety are with us in the studio at all times, hence I do not allow any food to be consumed.

• You can bring yourself a drink, but I ask that this is kept in a flask or a container that can be closed securely. 

​

Cancellations:

• Please understand that I am a small business and cannot offer refunds for cancelation. I will, however try to offer you a space on one of my other classes if possible.
