• Some darker clays may stain, but the clay used in class typically comes out in the wash.

• Class clay is for studio use only and may not be taken home.

• To ensure fair use of materials and kiln space, students are asked not to make pieces larger than 10 inches in any direction.

  • For 8-week classes, each student may submit up to twelve (12) pieces or approximately 20 lbs of work for bisque firing per session. 

  • For one-time workshops and private events, firing limits may vary by workshop and may be based on the number or weight of pieces. Only work within the specified limit will be glazed and fired by the studio.

• Participation in a class does not grant open studio access outside of class time unless the student is a studio member.

5.1. About Makeup Days

Miss a class? Makeup Days provide dedicated time to help you continue working on your projects and stay on track with your course.

• We strongly encourage attending all regular classes.

• Because ceramics is a step-by-step process, missing a regular class may result in your work not being completed, even if you attend a Makeup Day. 

• Makeup Days provide additional time to continue your work with guidance from an instructor, but may differ from the regular class you missed.

• During Makeup Days, one instructor guides multiple students working on different steps of their projects. 

• If you are unable to attend the available Makeup Days, we cannot provide additional or alternative arrangements.

5.2. Eligibility

• Limit: One Makeup Day per student, within 8 weeks from your first class

• Request: Submit the Makeup Request Day Form at least 24 hours before your missed class

• Reserve: Book your Makeup Day at least 24 hours in advance

• Notify: Let your instructor know about your absence and makeup plan

• Workshops: One-time workshops are not eligible for Makeup Days

• Review: Even confirmed reservations may be canceled after we review your eligibility

5.3. How to Schedule a Makeup Day

• Submit: Complete the Makeup Day Request Form at least 24 hours before your missed class

• Adjustments: Schedules may change based on studio availability and operational needs

5.5. Important Notes

• Track Your Work: Students are responsible for keeping track of and locating their own pieces. If your work cannot be located, studio bisque-fired pieces will be available for you to glaze.

• Consider Timing: Ceramics require drying and firing time between steps. Plan your Makeup Day around where your pieces are in the process.

• For Trimming: If you miss a trimming class, attend a Makeup Day early enough for your pieces to be trimmed, dried, and bisque-fired before your scheduled glazing class. Allow at least 7 days between trimming and glazing.

• Limited Availability: Makeup Day spots are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Reschedule: You may reschedule through your confirmation email up to 24 hours before your Makeup Day.

• Cancellations & No-Shows: If you cancel or don’t show up, you won’t be able to book another Makeup Day. 

• No Refunds: Being unable to attend a Makeup Day does not qualify for a partial refund for the missed class, or for a class cancellation or refund.
