Payment Terms
Subject to any right of the Company to cancel or suspend the Membership, the Membership will continue indefinitely unless and until a Member cancels their Membership by written request to the Company giving one clear calendar month’s notice of the desired cancellation date which date must be no earlier than the end of the Minimum Membership Period. No refunds shall be given to any Member in respect of any Membership fees that have already been paid.
If a Member does not pay their Membership fees for the Minimum Membership Period (or cancels their Membership during the Minimum Membership Period) then the Member is liable in full for the difference between the rolling monthly rate at the date of termination and the price paid by them under their subscription.
Each Member agrees and acknowledges that by agreeing to the Minimum Membership Period, they are being given preferential rates by the Company and therefore it is fair and reasonable that the Member is liable for the payments referred to above.
It is the responsibility of the Member to cancel any direct debit or standing order with his / her bank on termination of his Membership. The Company cannot be held liable for any payments processed due to the failure of a Member to cancel a direct debit or standing order.
Any Member who does not wish to accept a change proposed by the Company to any Membership fees may cancel their Membership by giving notice to the Company in writing (by email or post). The Member giving notice must continue to pay his Membership fees at the rate current immediately prior to any proposed increase until the end of such notice period (or in the case of a Member whose Minimum Membership Period has not ended until the end of such period).
If the Membership fees are paid by debit or credit card (or any Membership fees remain outstanding beyond the due date) the Member unconditionally and irrevocably authorises the Company to debit any credit or debit card provided by the Member with the monthly Membership fee (or any outstanding fees) without prior notice to the Member.
Memberships, once the contract is started, are non-transferable and cannot be shared.
Members have a set firing allowance included in their monthly fee. The monthly firing allowance is set at 20 litres (Club Membership) and 40 litres (Full and Super Membership). Class participants have a bisque firing allocation and pay an additional excess firing charge based on kiln volume used beyond the allowance. Excess firing fees and allowances will be stated on the website or on the course joining instructions and are subject to periodic review. Excess firing charges are payable monthly on receipt of invoices.
Bookings and Cancellations of Classes/Workshops
Bookings are made via the website portal. Payment must be made in full at the time of booking. Cancellations and amendments can only be addressed in writing (via email).
Classes are booked on a first-come first-served basis. A waiting-list facility will be established for every oversubscribed class. Participants selected to attend a class from the waiting list will be subject to these Terms and Conditions.
Refunds
No refunds or transfers will be offered for workshop or class spaces cancelled by participants within 2 weeks/14 days of a booked event. If a cancellation is notified earlier than 2 weeks prior to a booked event the Company will endeavour to backfill the place. If this is possible the Company will then refund your booking, less processing fees of 20%.
In the event of a class or workshop being cancelled by the Company, participants will be given the option of a refund or (where applicable) a transfer to a new date/booking.
Force Majeure (an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond Company control causing disruption to Company business)
In the event of last-minute cancellations of cancellations mid-course or workshop the Company will always endeavour to offer refunds to participants. These refunds will be calculated on a pro-rata basis less any non-recoverable cost associated with planning and staging the event.

Health and Safety
Members use the Studio at their own risk with awareness of the inherent hazards of a Studio environment, which include but are not limited to use of sharp tools and sharp edges, exposure to toxic materials, the dangers of using materials and equipment at high temperatures, and the risks associate with breathing silica dust.

Other than with the exception of guide dogs, no pets are permitted in the Studio buildings or grounds.
Members must use one of the two the main entrances to the Studio when entering or leaving the Studio.

Use of Facilities
A Member is entitled to use the Studio’s facilities during its opening hours and subject to these Terms and Conditions provided always that the Company may at any time without notice withdraw all or part of its facilities for any period or periods in connection with any cleaning, repair, alteration or maintenance work or for any other reasons.
Children under the age of 16 may only use the Studio and attend any Class if accompanied by an adult (who must be a Member). Members under the age of 18 must have consent, in written form, from a parent or guardian.
Open Access Membership includes “fair usage” of glazes provided by the Studio for use on pieces made in the Studio only. External glazes or self-made glazes must not be used in the Studio unless with prior permission from the Company staff. To gain permission the glaze must be test-fired in collaboration with a Company technician to ensure there will be no damage to the kilns or kiln furniture or other Member’s work.
Open Access Membership includes up to 2,500 cubic inches/ 40 litres (2o litres for Club Members) of kiln firing space per month in communal firings loaded by a Company technician at the Studio’s pre-set temperatures. Only pieces made in the Studio may be fired under this allowance. This allowance cannot be carried forward to the following month. Any additional work is fired at £3/litre. This price is subject to change to reflect the true cost of firing.
All glazed pieces must be fired on a purpose-made firing bat to prevent damage to kilns from running glazes. Members are liable for any damage to the kiln shelves caused by irresponsibly applied glazes. Technicians will not fire items in which the glaze is deemed to have been applied too thickly.

Cleaning
All Members are required to spend at least 20 minutes cleaning the Studio at the close of each Session. Clay and glaze dusts are toxic and must not be left anywhere in the Studio. Work areas should be left cleaner or as clean as when the Member began working, including the floor area around the work station. If a Member’s work area is cleaned thoroughly within the 20 minutes cleaning allocation, the Member is required to then clean a shared studio area of their choice.
Any Member that does not wish to or does not have time to clean the Studio for 20 minutes at the end of each Session will be required to pay a 20% increase in their Membership fee to cover staff cleaning time. This arrangement is to keep costs down for all Members as the Company does not employ cleaning staff.
Each Member is required to comply with the Studio’s two bucket cleaning system for cleaning equipment for the use of clay and glazes as well as hand washing. Studio sinks should not be used for the purposes of cleaning clay, glaze or other materials from equipment or hands. These are to be exclusively used for collecting water and for the purpose of hygiene. Clay, glaze and plaster must not be disposed of in sinks and drains, neither in the Studio nor in the terrace outside. All members must use disposal and clay recycling buckets provided.
