Question 1

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

One Time Workshop: 
Cancellations more than 48 hours before class are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations 24-48 hours before class are eligible for credit to reschedule. Cancellations less than 24 hours before class are non-refundable, but you may transfer your seat to someone else. If you are rescheduling for multiple people, you'll need to do it individually in each person's profile.

Recurring Classes (4 Pack Classes): Students are allowed to cancel at least 24hrs prior to class time, with a limit of one cancellation every four weeks. It is not ideal to have too many weeks between classes as pieces dry out and studio space is limited. If you would like to try to get on the schedule for a different time/day, please reach out to info@clayloungeboston.com.

If you can't find an open seat in an upcoming class, put your name on the waitlist and reach out to info@clayloungeboston.com before you cancel the class.

8-Week Workshops: Students are allowed one make-up class, which is built into the session schedule. Your teacher will confirm the date of your class's make-up session. If you cannot make the make-up date, please reach out to info@clayloungeboston.com to schedule. Since this is a curriculum based course the invoice is non-refundable.

Question 2

What do I expect from a one-time class?

Accepted Answer

One-time classes are a fun way to experience pottery for the first time or get back on the wheel after a hiatus. Bring clothes you don’t mind washing, a hair tie, and your hands!

Participants will be taken through the basic steps of creating a piece of pottery through wheel throwing and/or hand-building. We'll provide aprons & all the tools you need to get started! You will choose the glaze colors to be finished and picked up at a later date.

Classes are 2 hours for working with the clay and an additional 30 minutes for cleanup.

Question 3

How are your weekly mixed-level classes set up?

Accepted Answer

Our mixed-level classes are an opportunity for artists to work through all aspects of the pottery making process in a supportive and fun community. Students will improve on their skills and bring their inspirations to life with the support and guidance of an experienced teacher.

Students are encouraged to come with their own inspiration of what they would like to make. This could be anything from improving your ability on the wheel, hand building your own dinnerware set, making a birthday gift, or throwing your dog a bowl!

Teachers will be floating around the studio to help demonstrate and inspire as needed. Students can opt in or out of group projects as they come.

The open format classes will have some students who are starting their pottery journey with others who have been enrolled for some time. This lends to a nice and collaborative studio flow.

Question 4

What if I need to miss one of my weekly classes?

Accepted Answer

No problem! You can reschedule up to 24 hours prior to class through our scheduling link and add yourself to a different class or the waitlist and email info@clayloungeboston.com if you have any questions.

You can also purchase a class package which will give you 4 or more individual classes that you can work around your schedule.

We recommend to making sure you can attend at least 3 sessions within a 4-week period, so you'll be able to finish pieces in a timely manner. Pots can dry out when left for too long.

Question 5

Do you offer open studio time?

Accepted Answer

We primarily offer teacher-guided class time, whether a one-time workshop or longer form class. Our mixed-level classes offer an open class format that is great for working on independent projects with teacher support as needed. We also offer independent study times during the week for current students to add on extra studio time, as needed.

Question 6

Can I schedule a private class for my birthday/corporate event/just for fun?

Accepted Answer

Whether it’s a family reunion, birthday party, bachelorette weekend, or just a casual get-together, private classes at Clay Lounge are a great opportunity to try something new and spend time with friends, family and coworkers.

Private classes can accommodate 6-20 people for a fun pottery experience. Classes will be tailored to the occasion and can include wheel throwing and/or hand-building projects.

Participants will create up to 2 pieces in the colors of their choosing.

Question 7

Do you offer children's classes?

Accepted Answer

Our classes are geared toward adults, but we welcome kids 12+ accompanied by an adult to our one-time classes.

For group events with 6 kids or more (accompanied by an adult), you can book a private one-time workshop via the form on our private events page!

Question 8

Can I sign up for a class if I see it is full? (Waitlist)

Accepted Answer

Yes — if a class is full, you have the option of adding your name to the waitlist. You should receive a response of whether you have been admitted to the class 24 hours prior to that class.

You will not be charged for the class until you have been let in and attend. You will need to pay on site - or if you have purchased a 'package' of classes this will be automatically deducted from your series.
