Booking Tips for Heer Pottery Classes:

- Our classes are cozy and fill up fast! We understand life can be unpredictable. To help everyone have a great experience, please note our cancellation and rescheduling policies:

- To reschedule, please do so at least 3 days before your class begins. Late rescheduling (within 3 days before your class begins) will result in no refund.

- For cancellations, a full refund is available if you cancel at least 3 days before your class starts. Late cancellations will result in no refund.

Pick-up Reminder:

Please remember to pick up your creations within 4 months after the course. Any unclaimed pieces after this period will be donated to charity.

Please note: Ceramics can be such a fun and rewarding art form, but unfortunately, not every piece survives the kiln. Sometimes, they may break due to factors like excess moisture or unexpected explosions during firing, despite our best efforts to prevent issues during the finishing process. While we always do our utmost to ensure a successful outcome, we’re unable to offer refunds for pieces that crack naturally. However, if we determine the damage occurred due to a kiln or technician error, we’ll be happy to assist accordingly.

Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our classes smooth and enjoyable for all!
