Frequently asked questions

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Attendees must be at least 14 years of age or older to attend, and attendees under 21 are not permitted to bring/consume alcohol.

What's the refund policy?

Refunds can be issued if proper notice is given at least 48 hours before the event.

What should I bring?

You should come with any food or beverages you’d like to enjoy during your workshop, as well as any utensils, glasses, plates, etc. that your treats require. ClaySpace does not provide any of these items and is not responsible for clean-up.

What should I wear?

Don’t wear any loose clothing, scarves, or long jewelry. Long hair should be tied back and no rings or bracelets should be worn, as they can fall off or get ruined. All clay washes out of clothing, but wear clothing you care about at your own risk.

What should I expect/what will I learn?

Come with an open mind! Throughout the course, our experienced instructor will conduct demonstrations, showcasing a variety of techniques. They will take you through each step, ensuring you grasp the process, and they'll be there to answer any questions you may have as you create your unique pieces.

What if something breaks or cracks?

While we aim for perfection, it's essential to recognize that in multi-step art forms like pottery, success isn't always guaranteed. However, you can trust that your creations will receive the utmost care and attention from our instructor, ensuring a rewarding experience.

When will I get my creation?

After the workshop, your instructor will glaze and fire your work. The finishing process takes several days to complete, and students can pick up their work about 2-4 weeks after the workshop at a time agreed upon by the group and instructor.

How can I arrange a private workshop?

Email info@erieclayspace.com. Workshops should be planned several weeks in advance in order to ensure your date is available. If you have an idea for a private workshop, please email us and we will do our best to accommodate your group.
