what should I wear?
Pottery has a reputation for being messy but our classes focus on hand building which is must cleaner! don't worry clay does not stain and is easily washed off clothes but just incase we do provide aprons to wear during the class as an added measure. so wear that cute outfit!tips:
- unless raining these classes are hosted outdoors so be mindful of the weather in cooler months
- flowy long sleeves can get in the way, opt for sleeves that can be rolled
- trimmed nails make working with clay easier but definitely not a necessity
when do I get my piece back?
the creation of ceramic pieces is a lengthy process! after the class your work will undergo the following steps:step 1) the piece takes one week to dry completely
step 2) undergo its first bisque firing
step 3) we will glaze your piece for you (your choice of glaze from our selection of three gorgeous colours or natural white).
step 4) finally, it’s time for the final glaze firingthis whole process takes around 5 to 6 weeks in total
Stomp Coffee is our collection point for finished pieces. you will be contacted when your work is ready with specific pickup instructions
my piece didn’t turn out how I wanted it to, what can I do?
we do absolutely everything in our power to ensure you end up with a gorgeous, functional masterpiece at the end of the process. from one on one guidance during the class to taking the utmost care when handling and transporting your work. while we treat every piece like we would our own, the nature of clay is very fragile as it changes form throughout the drying, firing and glazing process. however unlikely, Pottemy is not liable for any broken or damaged work.glazing and firing can be temperamental based on many complex factors. while it is uncommon, a piece may not survive the firing process. in this case the $20 firing fee included in your ticket will be refunded to you.we thank you for your understanding
