** Please note that due to the nature of ceramics, final results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Glaze colours and finishes may vary from samples and are for reference only.
- Textures and fine details may appear differently after firing.
- Finished pieces will shrink by approximately 15% during the drying and firing process.
- Minor imperfections, such as small clay marks or uneven surfaces, may be present.
- Pieces may crack, warp or break during drying or firing.
We take every care throughout the making and firing process; however, these are natural characteristics and risks of working with clay and cannot always be prevented.
If a piece is damaged beyond use during the firing process, we will reimburse the £5 materials and firing fee paid for that piece. Class fees are non-refundable.
