We cannot delay the start of the experience and if you miss your scheduled time we are under no obligation to arrange an alternative or refund your money.

Prior to your experience you will also be sent any further details of the course programme, and information on anything that you may need to bring with you. It is your responsibility to ensure the contact details you provide are accurate.
7. Pieces that are made have to be annealed overnight meaning that they can’t be taken away at the end of the day. Your item/s will normally be available for collection one week after your workshop.

Under no circumstances should you participate in an experience while under the influence of alcohol.
