Terms and Conditions

 

With respect, please don’t ask for exceptions.

 

• Course and workshop places are considered booked and secured only upon full payment.

• Payment for booking may be made in person by cash, card or PayPal, by phone, direct deposit and on-line.

• Cancellation by Atelier451 of any course will result in full refund to the purchaser.

• Cancellation of a booking by prospective student, for any reason, is non-refundable.

• A cancelling student may however find a replacement student for that particular place in that particular course at no further cost.

• No transfer, refunds or make-up classes are available for classes missed by the student.

• Discount rates for particular blocks of sessions and courses are only applicable to the classes held on dates specified at time of payment and may not be carried over to the next term or time frame.

• Firing of clay work at $8 per kilo will be done only after payment is made, name clearly marked on the piece and dated.

• Work left at the studio is discarded after 1 month.

• While all care is taken concerning storage and firing of works, exploding and cracking during the firing sometimes occur due to the ware being too thick, too damp, full of air pockets, incorrectly joined or treated. It is the student’s responsibility to only offer correctly treated work for firing to prevent damage to their work, the work of others and the kiln. Cleaning the kiln after an accident is extremely time consuming and a huge pain in the neck. Spare me!

• Students are expected to considerately inspect the areas they’ve been using and clean up after themselves so that those who come after may enjoy a clean area too. Clay, wax, paint and charcoal spread far and wide very quickly. There is a variety of cleaning tools and products in the utility cupboard, kitchen and laundry.
