Pricing: When you sign up for a pottery lesson in my studio, you're getting much more than just a few hours at the wheel, you're investing in a full, enriching experience. Here's what goes into the price: Materials & Tools: Clay, glazes, tools, and kiln firings all add up. All your pieces will be fired to a high temperature making them durable & food/liquid safe. Small Class Sizes: I keep classes small so everyone gets hands-on, personalized instruction. This ensures a more supportive, less rushed learning environment. Studio Time: Lessons include access to a fully-equipped studio. Behind the scenes, that also means maintenance, cleanup, reclaiming clay and preparing the space for a creative and safe experience. Expertise: You're learning from incredible potters with years of experience in ceramics. We pour our time and energy into designing each lesson to be approachable, skill-building, and fun! Finishing: Each piece you create goes through two kiln firings, a process that takes time, care, and attention to detail. After class, we handle all the finishing work for you. This includes trimming your pieces (refining the base and smoothing the form on the wheel), as well as labelling them with your initials and the date of your class so you can remember when you made them.

REFUND POLICY I will not be able to offer a refund on classes. Please make sure you are certain on the dates you book as It can be difficult to get a new student in with short notice.

You could also offer your class to a friend or family member if you can no longer attend. There will need to be at least 3 people booked onto the class for it to go ahead. I will email students if the class can not go ahead and will offer a refund or to reschedule for another week.
