Our class policies are here to make sure everyone has a great pottery experience!

• If you do not come to the class you have registered for we cannot provide a refund or alternative class time for you. Please let your instructor know to keep your work wrapped for the following week.

• Respect everyone in the class. We all have our strengths & weaknesses, please be supportive and kind to one another.

• Classes (and often demonstrations) start at the time given, so please arrive on time or even a few minutes early so that you don’t miss anything.

• Dress appropriately. Aprons will be provided, but you will still get dirty (including your shoes).

• Long hair (past shoulders) should be tied back when operating machines with moving parts.

• Closed toed shoes are required, no sandals in the studio.

• Jewelry and expensive items should be left at home to avoid damage or loss.

• If we unavoidably cancel a class or workshop due to illness or bad weather, we will do our best to accommodate everyone when we reschedule.

• If you cancel your 8-week course 10 days or more before the first class starts, 100% credit goes towards a future course.

• Cancelled with less than 10 days notice you will forfeit your payment.

• Full payment must be made upon enrolment to secure your class placement.

• Classes are for those 18 years old and older at the time of class start. We are only insured to allow for adult students in the studio.

• We will contact everyone via email once pottery is fired and ready for pickup.  We can’t be responsible for pieces not picked up for over 1 month after the pickup notification. After 2 months pieces will be discarded or added to the “free pottery” box and may find homes elsewhere.

• The class fee is for the instructional experience and use of tools and materials, not the finished product. Pottery is an artistic activity with natural variation leading to factors beyond the control of the instructor and the studio that may affect the appearance and quality of the final product.

• Any leftover unfired clay must be left at the studio at the end of your session and will be reclaimed and repurposed.

• I hereby release Wheelhouse Pottery, its representatives, successors, or assignees, Wheelhouse Pottery management and employees, from all liabilities, actions, claims, damages, demands, costs, and expenses which I am now or in the future have against them, arising out of or in any way connected with my participation in art classes, including enroute to or from the program or its related events. I understand this waiver includes, but is not limited to, all injuries to me and or loss of injuries to any personal property. I also understand this waiver includes, but is not limited to, any claims that are based on my alleged negligence or any other action or inaction of any of the above parties.

• I accept these terms and I will sign a written version of these rules and policies at the beginning of my first class.
