You will receive an email approximately 1 month after your class, when your pieces are ready. Remember to check your spam or junk folder!
You will then have 2 weeks to pick up your pieces during our pickup hours. Please present your email when picking them up. If you are unable to come in person, someone of your choice can pick them up for you with proof of your email.
After this period, any unclaimed pieces will be donated.
Ceramics is a delicate process: your pieces may crack or break during drying or firing. Pottery takes practice! That’s why our introductory classes are primarily focused on the experience and learning, rather than the final result.
