Firing of the pieces after the lesson
Firing of the pieces after the lesson
You will receive an email approximately 4 weeks after your last class, when your ceramic pieces will be ready. As our emails often end up in spams folder, add us to your contacts so you don't miss it!
It may happen that a piece breaks during firing, because ceramics is a complex art that involves several risks throughout the process. If your part did not survive the process, unfortunately we do not offer replacement or re-course.

It is your responsibility to attend all classes. If you must be absent, we will try to accommodate you, but unfortunately, it is often impossible to offer you a make-up session as the majority of our groups are full. For short sessions, it is essential to attend all classes.
To reschedule a class session, you must notify us more than one week before the start of the session so that we can put the spot back on sale. Rescheduling or cancellations are not possible within one week of the start of the session or after it has already started.
