Good to know

• Please be advised that throwing on the wheel may be difficult for students with long nails.
• We suggest that all students bring an old bath towel to cover their clothes while throwing. It's also a good idea to wear an apron or old clothes that can get dirty.
• To cut down on trash, we don't provide paper towels in the studio. We suggest all students bring a hand or kitchen towel to dry their hands.
• Registrations for courses that have not met the required number of students will close 24 hours before the start date of the course.
• Students may return to the Clay Center during Open Studio to finish pieces started in class for one month following the last class day of their registered class.

Missed Class/Make-up Policies

• We allow one make-up for a missed class per four-week course.
• Make-ups can be done in another class of the same level (if there's room) or in Open Studio.
• Make-ups must be scheduled in advance via email to info@nolaclay.org.
• Please do not attend another class or Open Studio to make up a missed class until you have made arrangements with the Clay Center via email.
• Make-ups must be completed during the same class session as the missed class unless other arrangements have been made.
• Make-ups done in Open Studio must be completed within 14 days of the last day of the registered class. 
• If you'll miss two or more classes in a session, we recommend waiting until you can be available for a full course.
