FAQs – We’ve Got You!

👶 Age Limit?
Ages 16+.

💸 Refunds?
Full refunds are available if requested at least 48 hours before the first class. Processing fees may apply. No refunds for missed classes.

👕 What to Wear?
Comfy clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Tie back long hair and skip the jewelry.

🎨 Is this beginner-friendly?
Nope — this is an intermediate/advanced class. You should be comfortable centering, pulling walls, and trimming independently.

💔 What if something cracks or warps?
We handle work with care, but ceramics can be unpredictable. Flat forms especially like to keep us humble.

📦 When do I pick up my work?
Finished pieces are typically ready 2–4 weeks after the class ends. Pick-up details will be provided.
