FAQ's
What is the refund and rescheduling policy?
If we are given 7 or more days notice, we will reschedule you to future class. If we are given 6 or less days notice, we are unable to offer you a refund or reschedule as this is not enough time to resell your place. We do however allow you to send any friend or family member of your choice to the class in your place. We have a no refunds policy, due to our business being tiny! We hope you understand.
I want to make a massive vase! Can I do that in this class?
This is a two hour class, so we suggest making small things such as mugs! Remember this is a taster class, so you're getting a taste for coil building and throwing tiny items :) It'll still be super fun, we promise.
Can my child (6 years +) come?
Yes! Definitely! We think 6 year olds (and kids in general) make the best ceramic pots ever! They will need a bought ticket as they are using the same materials and slip glazes, which will lead to their beautiful pieces needing two firings in the kiln, just like everyone else attending.
Can I lock my bike up or park my car at the studio?
Yes you can, we have parking outside our studio and bike stands outside too.
How long does it take for my pieces to be ready after the class?
So you will be able to collect your pieces or have them delivered after we fire them in the kiln (twice). This takes 3 to 4 weeks! But sometimes it can take longer, so please give us time :) We send out a text / email to tell you they are ready to collect.
I want to book a group ticket, but I have more than 6 people in my group! How do I book this?
If you have 6+ people, please book the group ticket and get in contact with us via workshops@theceramicists.co.uk and we can arrange a larger group ticket for you. Please note, it is £45 per person. We also offer times and days out of our usual weekend classes - so please get in touch if you’re interested in doing a corporate workshop (we can come to your offices!) or want a special party, let it be a birthday party, hen-do or any other celebration - we are here to get the party messy!

I attended the pottery session with my sister as a present for my birthday and was the first time we tried the wheel. We really enjoyed the whole session! Milo was an enthusiastic and welcoming teacher and we had lots of fun. We can't wait to have our pieces to take home but it takes time to fire them in the kiln so we are still waiting.

It was an amazing workshop, the teacher was incredibly helpful, explained all the steps and helped everyone during the session. I would love to come back to do more workshop! 100% recommend this ✨
