If you only want to attend a single class at a time, the tariff is  about 20 % more per class.

Unfortunately there are no refunds of or credits for missed classes. Classes may be worked in at other class times in the same month or on open studio days on a given Saturday every second month. After this the missed classes will unfortunately be lost.

Clay (Separate) and firing:

Class clay packed in 10kg bags, are bought separately. The use of this includes transparent dip glaze and firing. Class clay are for class projects only in class times. Any work not made in the studio will be fired at an extra tariff.

If work are fired more than 2 times, an extra firing fee will be applicable.

Dependent on the size of the projects, the clay should last, on average, longer than 1 month.

More than 10kg in 1 month can be fired at and additional cost.

The studio have a specific firing temperature that works well for the clay and glazes we use. We do not fire clay from other sources.
