Pottery PICK-UP INFORMATION

Our kiln-firing process starts with a slow drying period to prevent cracks. Your pottery is then bisque fired to harden it, 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 kiln-fired 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.

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