What’s Included
-
Small-group instruction
-
Studio tools, glazes, and kiln firing

Cancellation Policy
Cancellations must be made at least two weeks before the start of class. After that window, refunds are not available.
Because our classes are intentionally small and hands-on, spots fill quickly. Notifying us early allows us to offer your space to another artist.
Make-ups are not available for one-time workshops or single-session classes if missed. For multi-session series, make-ups must occur within the same course cycle, as sessions cannot be made up once the course ends.
Thank you for supporting our small studio.
