Students should be prepared to fire in all weather conditions.

We ask that students comply with all of our health and safety guidelines. A student waiver will be issued during the first kiln meeting with the most up-to-date guidance.

FIRING ONLY OPTION CANCELATION POLICY

The Firing Only option often fills up quickly! But no matter how long the wait list is, it is difficult to fill a canceled spot if it is too close to the firing, simply because waitlisted folks no longer have adequate time to make work for the firing.

• Participants may cancel and request a full refund, less an administrative fee of $25,  up to six full weeks before the scheduled loading. 
• No refunds or credits can be issued for cancelations made less than 6 full weeks before loading. However, you are welcome to have another experienced wood firing participant take over your spot, with the wood fire resident's approval.
