** Please note that due to the nature of ceramics, final results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Glaze colours and finishes may vary from samples and are for reference only.
• Textures and fine details may appear differently after firing.
• Finished pieces will shrink by approximately 15% during the drying and firing process.
• Minor imperfections, such as small clay marks or uneven surfaces, may be present.
• Pieces may crack, warp or break during drying or firing.

We take every care throughout the making and firing process; however, these are natural characteristics and risks of working with clay and cannot always be prevented.If a piece is damaged beyond use during the firing process, we will reimburse the £5 materials and firing fee paid for that piece. Class fees are non-refundable.

• Clay, aprons and tools will be provided during the class.
• If you would like to keep your finished pieces, a materials and firing fee of £5 per piece is payable on the day of the class.
• Finished pieces are usually ready for collection 4–5 weeks after the class. We will notify you by email when they are ready. Please check your inbox and spam/junk folder.
• We will store finished pieces for one month from the date of our collection email. Pieces not collected within this period may be disposed of due to limited storage space.

Please note that ceramics are fragile. While every care is taken, cracking, warping or breakage can occur during the drying and firing process. These are natural risks of ceramics, and we cannot guarantee that every piece will be successfully fired. Read more details
