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

5.4. Schedule

• Day and Time: Typically every other Friday from 6:00–8:30 PM (2 hours of work + 30 minutes of cleanup)

• Schedule: Three to four Makeup Days are typically offered during each 8-week session, with specific dates shared in your class registration email

• 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. 

• The Clay Table reserves the right to modify or cancel Makeup Day reservations due to instructor availability, studio capacity, equipment issues, or unforeseen circumstances.
