Class registration is confirmed upon receipt of full payment. Spaces are limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Payment Terms

Payment is due at the time of registration. We accept bank transfers and credit card payments through secure payment processors. Prices are listed in euros and include applicable taxes.

Cancellation and Refunds

Cancellations made more than 14 days before a class begins are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations made 7-14 days before the class start date receive a 50% refund or full credit toward future classes. Cancellations made less than 7 days before the class begins are non-refundable but may be transferred to another participant.

Class Changes

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule classes due to insufficient enrollment, instructor illness, or unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, you will receive a full refund or the option to transfer to another class.

Studio Access and Conduct

Students and studio members must:

• Follow all safety guidelines and instructor directions
• Treat equipment, materials, and facilities with care
• Clean work areas after each session
• Respect other students and maintain a collaborative environment
• Arrive on time for scheduled classes

We reserve the right to deny studio access to anyone who violates these conduct standards or behaves in a manner that disrupts classes or compromises safety.

Materials and Equipment

Class fees include basic materials as specified in course descriptions. Studio members receive a monthly clay allocation as outlined in membership terms. Additional materials may be purchased separately.
