How do I book?
In the first instance please email me at info@FICHceramics.co.uk with some dates you are able to do. It is advised that if you are doing the 'Make a plant pot' or 'Make a mug' pottery experiences the first two sessions are a week apart so we will book these in first. I will get in contact with you after your second session to book your third and final session once your pot/mug has been fired. Once the dates have been agreed upon, payment will be taken to confirm your booking . I will then send over the terms and conditions of your pottery experience as well as the address of my studio. Provisional dates are only held for 24 hours.
Do you offer refunds on pottery experiences ?
Refunds on pottery experiences are only issued if cancelled within 24 hours of purchasing. If the pottery experience has been booked, they cannot be refunded.
Can I change the date after booking?
Yes, you can change the date after you have booked. Please give as much notice as possible with your preferred date and time. Subsequent changes will incur a £30 charge. Changes will not be accepted if less than 24 hour notice is given.
Will your dog be there during my pottery experience?
My friendly studio pup, Inca, will happily sleep through the whole experience, only waking up at the beginning and end, for cuddles. She wont be offended if you'd prefer not to though! Having said that, if you have a severe phobia of dogs that would prevent you from coming, please email me at info@fichceramics.co.uk as I may be able to make alternative arrangements for her. If however, you have a severe allergy that will be triggered if you're in the same room that a dog has been in, please use an alternative studio.
