Cancellation Policy

All memberships at The Pottery Den require a minimum of 30 days’ written notice to cancel. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email.

If your next billing cycle falls within the 30-day notice period, you will be billed for that upcoming month as scheduled. Your membership will remain active through the end of that billing cycle, after which it will officially terminate. No additional charges will be applied beyond that final billing period.

This policy ensures consistency and allows us to properly manage studio capacity, resources, and scheduling.

Closure Policy

The Pottery Den may occasionally close part or all of the studio for private events, workshops, maintenance, or other operational needs. We are committed to giving our members advance notice of any scheduled closures whenever possible.

During these times, access to equipment, studio space, or specific areas may be limited. Closures do not qualify for refunds or membership extensions unless otherwise stated by studio management.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to maintain a safe, welcoming, and well-run studio environment.

Code of Conduct

All members are expected to maintain a safe, respectful, and community-oriented environment by adhering to the following:

  • Respect all fellow members, instructors, staff, and studio property.
  • Clean up your workspace, tools, and any shared equipment after each use.
  • Follow all safety guidelines, including:
  • Safe use of glazes, tools, and equipment
  • Proper labeling and storage of materials
  • Awareness of kiln schedules and firing procedures

Violation of Policies

To maintain a safe and supportive community, The Pottery Den reserves the right to suspend or cancel memberships for any reason including the following:

  • Disrespectful or unsafe behavior
  • Failure to follow safety and cleanup procedures
  • Sharing studio access with non-members
  • Repeated violation of any studio policies

No refunds will be issued for memberships terminated due to policy violations.
