All other deposits and class payments are non-refundable but will be held and transferred to another class of your choice (assuming there is a vacancy for a term of 12 months from date of payment). 

Please also note that this class may not be suitable for children under 14 years of age due to needing to be a certain height to use the wheel.

All work from this class will be kept at the Studio for a period of 3 months, after which time, any uncollected items will be disposed of.

We have set up our studio to bring together pottery and ceramics in a combined space and to be an affordable, fun place where anyone can come and enjoy creating with clay. Our studio is a place where there are very little rules except to respect your fellow artists, their work and the studio, to relax and learn that there is no end to the possibilities when working with clay..........
