Pottery Class Terms & Conditions

Thanks for booking a class! Please read these terms before you book. By booking a class, you agree to them.

The class

Each class lasts two hours and takes place at my studio in the east end of Nob Hill in Albuquerque. The address will be sent with your booking confirmation.
Classes are small (up to four people) and no experience is needed.
Clay, tools, glazes and firing are included in the price.
Please arrive 5–10 minutes early. My studio is in a shared building and the front door is in a different part of the building, so I may not hear you knocking. Classes start and end on time, and if you arrive late, the class can't be extended.

At the end of class you'll choose two pieces to keep.
After class, I trim, glaze (in the glaze of your choice) and fire your pieces. They're ready for pickup at the studio about 2–3 weeks after class, and I'll email you when they're ready.
I'll hold your finished pieces for 2 months. Pieces not picked up within 2 months of that email may be recycled.
Finished pieces are microwave, dishwasher and food safe.
Every handmade piece is unique. Glaze colors can vary, and occasionally a piece cracks or doesn't survive the kiln. I'll always do my best, but pieces are presented how they come out of the kiln.

Classes are paid in full when you book. Bookings close 24 hours before each class.
You can change your class time or cancel for a full refund to your original payment method up to 24 hours before your class on the Manage your booking page.
Within 24 hours of class, bookings can't be refunded or changed, but you're welcome to send someone in your place. Just let me know their name.
Missed classes (no-shows) are not refunded.
If I have to cancel a class (for illness or an emergency, for example), you can choose a new time or a full refund.

Students must be 12 or older.
Minors (under 18) must be accompanied by an adult for the whole class. The adult can watch for free, or book their own spot to join in.
Everyone working with clay needs their own spot. Please enter each person's name when you book.

Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting messy, and please wear closed-toe shoes.
Long hair will need to be tied back, and having short nails will make throwing much easier. You may also want to take off rings and bracelets.

Please follow instructions for using tools and equipment. Working with clay is hands-on and physical, and you take part at your own risk.
Let me know before class about any health conditions, injuries, allergies or pregnancy that I should know about.
I may ask anyone who is behaving unsafely, or who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, to leave without a refund.
I'm not responsible for lost or damaged personal belongings.

I sometimes take photos during class to share on the website or social media. If you'd rather not appear in them, just tell me at the start of class.

Gift cards can be used to book classes. A $75 gift card covers one person for one class.

If anything here is unclear, please get in touch before you book.
