This differs for societies and social groups. Societies and social groups have a 72 hr cancellation and refund policy, this is due to the unpredictability of these sessions we have previously held. We ask you to go on a prepaid package and that you do not add any selling fees onto tickets, as this causes problems and issues our end. We try our best to ensure that the creative journey you take with us is fun and enjoyable. The final part of the journey involves the glazing and firing of your pottery. Sadly this is not an exact science and the kiln is sometimes unpredictable. While we strive for perfection it doesn’t happen all the time, particularly as these are hand-produced crafts. Glaze spotting can occur as well as things like brick dust on the items. Please be aware that although we try to control for these events it is not always possible. It can be the charm but also the frustration of working with ceramics. Sometimes, if we feel it is safe to do so, we will re-fire the pottery to try to fix glazing issues. In the unlikely event of your pottery breaking or cracking in the kiln we will of course offer compensation by way of a replacement voucher. Once your pottery has left the premises we cannot accept any responsibility for your item, we do not offer a guarantee for your items.
