YOU CAN RESCHEDULE your class free of charge up to 18 hours before class start time by clicking the "Reschedule" button in your confirmation email. Please pay attention to the rescheduling instructions in the email since rescheduling multiple people is especially tricky. The software is a pain, we know, we’re sorry.
YOU CAN'T RESCHEDULE within 18 hours of class—for any reason. We get it, life happens. We're a small business and are unable to fill those spots on such short notice. We ask that you find someone to take your spot and that they reimburse you personally (concert ticket style). Thanks for your understanding.
Cancellations: We don't allow cancellations or refunds for any of our classes, courses, open studio sessions or workshops.

Most classes are 2.5 hours long unless otherwise noted. There will be a short demo at the beginning of class, and the last 20-30 minutes of class will be clean up. Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to class to get checked in.

If you’re taking a clay class…
Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty or stained! We have aprons for your use (we also have great Pip aprons for sale in the coffee shop).
Leave watches and jewelry at home. They have a tendency to get left behind in apron pockets.
Maybe cut your nails—long nails and wheel throwing don't mix!
-
Pieces are ready to pick up roughly three weeks after your class date. An automated email will go out after 3 weeks, but sometimes they go straight to you junk folder. So please feel free to come in after 3 weeks and pick up.
We will hold onto pieces for 6 weeks past the class date. After that, pieces will be donated or thrown away (and then they cry, so please come get them!!).
