Pottery PICK-UP INFORMATION

Our kiln-firing process starts with a slow drying period to prevent cracks. Your clay creations then undergo a bisque firing to harden them, after that our staff carefully apply a food-safe glaze. Finally, a second, higher-temperature glaze firing permanently seals the glaze, creating a durable and beautiful piece ready for you to enjoy!

• Most finished pottery will be ready about 4-weeks after your visit.

• Pottery must be picked up within 3-months from class date or items will be discarded. Please pick-up your items as soon as you are contacted during our open hours.

• Please keep in mind that ceramic firing is a complex process and not an exact science. Occasionally, pieces emerge with unforeseen cracks or imperfections. Due to these inherent risks, our policy does not include refunds for items damaged during firing.
