​As a not for profit, community pottery, our fees are kept as affordable as possible but we need to maintain full attendance in all classes to allow this to continue. Therefore, classes and workshops must be paid in full at the time of booking/confirmation and rearrangement of your class date may only be possible with at least 2 weeks notice. Please ensure you can attend the class before you book in with us, as refunds cannot be made. If you have booked a private throwing class or family workshop rearrangement of your class will be considered with less notice .
