FAQ

How do pickups work?
Pickups are by appointment only to keep things smooth and organized. You’ll receive a link to schedule once your pieces are ready. There is no guarantee we will be open if you swing by the studio without an appointment.
How long do I have to pick up my pottery?
We ask that all items be picked up within 30 days of notification. After that, pieces may be donated to our “free pottery” shelf.
What if a class doesn't meet the minimum enrollment?
In rare cases, we may need to reschedule or cancel a class due to low enrollment. If that happens, you’ll be offered a reschedule or full refund.
