We cannot refund if any numbers drop within 48 hours of the session, but you will still be offered the piece of pottery you have paid for for the person unable to attend.
Our downstairs ‘party’ area can seat up to 20 people, our main shop floor the same amount. Private party space is not guaranteed - please email us to check ahead if you will have sole use of the party space. Please let us know of any access requirements as our party space is accessible only be stairs.
We have a strict 48 hour cancellation/refund policy, if numbers change or you need to cancel/reschedule we require this much notice ahead of the party, we cannot offer changes or refunds after this point.
Glazing and firing your painted pottery:
We try our best to ensure that the creative journey you take with us is fun and enjoyable. The final part of the journey involves the glazing and firing of your pottery. Sadly this is not an exact science and the kiln is sometimes unpredictable. While we strive for perfection it doesn’t happen all the time, particularly as these are hand-produced crafts. Glaze spotting can occur as well as things like brick dust on the items. Please be aware that although we try to control for these events it is not always possible to prevent. It can be the charm but also the frustration of working with ceramics. Sometimes, if we feel it is safe to do so, we will re-fire your pottery to try to fix glazing issues. In the unlikely event of your pottery breaking or cracking in the kiln we will of course offer compensation by way of a replacement voucher.
Glazing and firing your thrown pots:
Please be aware that sometimes clay fired items can break or very occasionally even explode in the kiln. We try to control for these events but it is not always possible. It is the charm but also the frustration of working with ceramics.
