Registration for classes requires a
non-refundable $100 deposit. Classes are non-transferable.
Checks will be returned by mail if the requested class is already full. The remaining balance for the class is due at the start of the first class. Attendance at the first class is mandatory unless you receive expressed permission from a manager.
Refund Policy: Class deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. In most cases, the remaining class fee is also not refundable after the first class. Circumstances which may allow for refunds are:
    1) A physician's note stating a condition which prevents the student from working in clay or at the studio.
    2) Instances of extreme, unexpected hardship. This may include the death or serious illness of someone close. Exceptions of this kind are granted at the discretion of the manager.
Changes in a student's priorities, job or vacation plans do not constitute the means for a refund. Having stated this, studio managers will attempt to assist students by granting partial refunds if a replacement student can be found for the class. When replacements are found (before the third class), students are granted a refund equal to the pro-rated amount paid by the new student, less a $15 fee for accounting.
