The Clay Table Class Policy

Studio Location: 19 Brookline Street, Cambridge, MA 02139

Studio Contact: hello@theclaytablestudio.com

By registering for a class at The Clay Table, students agree to the following policies and guidelines.

1. Arrival & Participation

  • Please arrive about 5 minutes before the class starts.

  • When you arrive, please ring the bell and you will be let in.

  • Arriving significantly early is discouraged, as the studio may be busy preparing for class.

2. Age Requirement

  • This class is open to students ages 18 and up.

3. Class Materials & Studio Use

  • All clay, tools, and supplies are provided, including aprons. Students are also welcome to bring their own tools.

  • Please wear comfortable clothing that you are okay getting clay on.

  • Some darker clays may stain, but the clay used in class typically comes out in the wash.

  • Class clay is for studio use only and may not be taken home.

  • To ensure fair use of materials and kiln space, students are asked not to make work larger than 10 inches in any direction.

  • Firing is limited to a maximum of six (6) pieces per student for the entire 4-week class session.

4. Health & Safety Acknowledgment

  • Participation in this class involves inherent risks, including potential injury from studio equipment, tools, materials, and surfaces.

  • Students with medical considerations (including, but not limited to, pacemakers) are responsible for consulting their physician prior to registration.

  • Students participate at their own risk and are expected to follow all instructor and studio safety guidelines at all times.

5. Ceramic Outcomes

  • There is no guarantee of successful outcomes in ceramic work.

  • Pieces may crack, warp, or break during the process.

  • Variations in glaze color, texture, and firing results are normal.

6. Make-Up Classes

  • The first class sets the foundation for the full session, so we encourage you to attend.

  • To qualify for a make-up class, students must notify the studio at least 24 hours before the scheduled class by emailing hello@theclaytablestudio.com.

  • If notice is not given in advance, we may not be able to offer a make-up class.

  • When available, a make-up class may be scheduled within the next class session only (the immediately following 4-week session), subject to space and studio availability.

  • Each student may request one (1) make-up class per class session.

  • Wheel access is not guaranteed for a make-up class.

  • Any unused make-up class expires after the next class session and cannot be carried forward.

7. Cancellations & Refund Policy

  • Cancellation Requests

    • All class cancellation requests must be submitted through the Class Cancellation Request Form.

    • The form can be accessed by clicking the “Class Cancellation Request” button at the bottom of the class product page. 

    • Cancellations are considered effective only once the form has been successfully submitted.

    • You will receive an email confirmation outlining the cancellation outcome after your request has been reviewed.

  • Refund Eligibility by Cancellation Time
    All cancellation deadlines are calculated based on the start time of the first class in the session.

    • 72+ hours before the first class start time: Full refund

    • 24+ hours before the first class start time: Studio class credit only

    • Less than 24 hours before the first class start time: No refund and no studio class credit

  • Studio Class Credit

    • Studio class credit is issued in the form of a promo code equal to the class fee.  

    • The promo code may be used toward registration for a future studio class only.

    • Studio class credit has no cash value and cannot be redeemed for a refund.

    • Studio class credit expires 12 months from the date of issuance.

8. Member Benefit

  • Member-only perks, including early access and discounted pricing, are reserved exclusively for active members. Classes purchased using these member benefits may NOT be gifted to non-members.

  • To ensure fairness, we may review class registrations and student lists. Registrations found to have been purchased by or for a non-member using member benefits may be canceled.

9. Class Registration Transferability

  • Class registrations are non-transferable once registered.

  • Classes may be purchased as gifts at checkout by entering the student’s name and email address, subject to applicable member benefit restrictions.

  • Once registered, the student may not be changed, and attendance may not be split or shared across weeks.

10. Liability & Agreement

  • The Clay Table is not responsible or liable for any injuries, personal property damage, or losses incurred during class participation.

  • By registering for a class, students acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agree to all class policies.
