TERMS & CONDITIONS
THE STUDIO FEE
The studio fee is payable on booking
This fee is non refundable, however amendments to the booking can be made up to 48 hours in advance.
The Studio fee DOES NOT include the pottery or Wooden Duck item - these are to be paid for at the end of the studio session.
FOOD-SAFE POTTERY
All of our pottery is glazed to be fully food-safe once fired. Your finished pieces can be used in the dishwasher and microwave; however, we recommend gentle handwashing to help preserve their finish over time. Dishwashers can be harsh and may gradually weaken the glaze. Please also take care when removing items from the microwave, as pottery can become very hot.
FOOD & DRINK
We kindly ask that only food and drink purchased from our studio is consumed on the premises. We do however permit over 18’s to bring their own alcohol for special occasions and on evenings and weekends.
Our café offers a selection of hot and cold drinks, cakes, and treats for you to enjoy.
If you are celebrating, you are welcome to bring a birthday cake by prior arrangement.
DAMAGES & IMPERFECTIONS
While we take great care, occasionally items may be damaged in transit or develop imperfections during the firing process. In these cases, we may offer a gift voucher for a replacement piece rather than releasing a faulty item.
We do not give out damaged items, as they may need to be tested, returned to suppliers, or may not meet our quality standards. This decision is at our discretion.
In some cases, where an item is still usable, we may offer a small goodwill “damage voucher” towards your next visit.
Once you have collected your item, please check it carefully and notify us of any issues within 24 hours. After this time, items are considered accepted.
EXCESS WASTAGE
We are committed to reducing waste wherever possible. If excessive amounts of glaze are used unnecessarily, a £3 wastage charge may be applied. Our team is always happy to guide you on how much you’ll need—just ask!
UNFINISHED POTTERY
If you’re unable to finish your piece during your session, don’t worry—we’ll keep it safe for up to 1 month.
You can return to complete your item and just pay the studio fee. We will hold your item for up to 1 month from your initial studio visit to allow plenty of time for you to do this.
COLLECTION
Finished pottery must be collected from the studio or can be posted to you at your expense.
We will make up to two attempts to contact you when your items are ready. Any pieces not collected within 1 month of painting may be disposed of unless alternative arrangements have been agreed.
