Fees and Class Schedule:

​

• Class fees cover instructed class time (3 hours per week x 5 weeks), two additional open studio sessions for independent work, use of tools and equipment, 25 pounds of clay (more available for purchase) and glazing and firing of your pieces. 

• No make-up classes are given, but you’re more than welcome to drop in on another session if there is an opening. 

• Clay is available for purchase at the studio, cash or check preferred. Laguna B-Mix and Rod's Bod are $15 per bag, Aardvark Nara porcelain is $20.

 

Cancellation Policy:

​

• Course fee is refundable up to two weeks prior to the start of the course. 

• Refunds will not be given if you cannot attend the course and it is less than two weeks before the start date; however, you may transfer your reservation to a future class session if there is space.

• No refunds will be issued after the class has begun.

• Open studio reservations are non-transferable and non-refundable. 

• Open studio session packages (5 sessions or 10 sessions) are non-refundable and must be used within one year.

 

Studio Rules:

​

• Students must be 18 or older. We make some exceptions for younger students who enroll in the course with a parent (but please reach out to us before registering, if this is the case. You may email us at auburnclayarts@gmail.com). 

• Cone 10 clay only in the studio unless otherwise approved by a teacher. Lower fire clay may ruin our kiln and other student’s work. 

• Only pieces created during class or open studio time will be fired, unless otherwise arranged with the instructor. 

• Any work left behind for more than 30 days may be discarded without notice. 

• Do not sweep the floor or sand pieces inside, as this releases particulates in the air.

• No loading, unloading, or otherwise handling the kilns by the students.

• You must clean your space and put away all tools before leaving for the day.

Please recognize that pottery is an art, and clay can be a fickle beast; we cannot guarantee that your pieces will come out the way that you envision, or that they will survive all the stages of the making process.
