Finished pieces will be available to pick up within 3 weeks after the date night session. More information will be provided as needed\, \nPlease contact us if you have questions or need accommodations. \nSLIDING SCALE PRICING\nSliding scale pricing is how we balance the equity scales and we use it to make ceramics education accessible and affordable to all. There are four tiers for pricing. When signing up for this class\, please pay what feels right to you and your current finances. This is a trust based system\, only you will know what feels comfortable and possible.
