Pottery Pick Up Policy
We allow 3 weeks to pick up your pottery after the initial firing and/or the glaze firing. If you cannot return to pick up your pottery within the 3 week window, you can request shipping or an in-studio hold during the 3 week window. Due to limited space in our studio, we cannot keep pottery after the 3 week window has passed; we do not offer refunds if you miss the pick up window. Please monitor the status of your pottery at smashedclay.com/status.
Cancellation Policy
Our studios have limited seating, so when you book an experience at Smashed, we hold the seat for you. We are a small business and depend on full classes to operate. We are unable to fill seats when customers cancel with short notice or don’t show up. For that reason, we cannot provide refunds if you do not show up or for appointments cancelled within 24 hours of your booked appointment.

Experience Refund Policy
Smashed Clay projects and experiences are designed using common pottery techniques and supplies, however it takes years to learn the art of handmade pottery and there are a lot of things that can go wrong – even for professional potters. For that reason, the studio does not provide refunds for experiences.
While we hope your finished project turns out exactly as you envisioned, there is no guarantee that your handmade pottery will make it through the entire process and/or result in what you set out to make. Thick pottery may take longer to dry. Pottery that is too thick, too thin or constructed in a manner that creates stress during the drying or firing process may crack, break or explode.
The process of drying and firing pottery can be unpredictable and the timing can be impacted by factors such construction of the pottery, humidity and ambient temperatures. While we target to complete the process in two weeks, there is no guarantee on how long it takes to fire your pottery and have it ready for pick up.
We allow 3 weeks to pick up your pottery after the initial firing or the glaze firing. If you cannot return to pick up your pottery within the 3 week window, you can request shipping or an in-studio hold during the 3 week window.
