Registration

Registration for classes will be on a first-come-first-served basis by mail or in-person. No class registration by phone. (Only workshop registration will be accepted by phone.)

Forms will be processed in the order received. You will be notified only if you do not secure placement in your first choice class. When a class fills we create a waiting list. If there is enough interest we may create a second section. Please indicate a first and a second choice, and indicate if you are a couple and would like to be enrolled in the same class together.

You may print and mail in the registration form, filled out completely, with credit card information or a check for the exact amount. Do not mail cash.

You may register in person. Office hours are 10 am - 5 pm, Tuesday through Friday.

Class Fees

Payment in full by check, cash, or credit card (vsia or mastercard only, please) is due with registration. Registration fees will cover firing and 25# of clay. Recycling used clay is encouraged.

Additional clay may be purchased at $12 per bag. Surcharges may apply for specialized clay bodies identified in class descriptions.

Cancellation Policy

If cancellation is less than two weeks prior to first class, $50 will be withheld from refunds. After the first class, no fees are refundable. Fees paid for the current session cannot be transferred as payment for the next class session. We reserve the right to cancel classes if the minimum enrollment is not reached; full tuition will be refunded.

Practice Times

One of the best features of classes at Pottery Northwest is the extensive work time available to students. If there is not another class or workshop in session, with very few exceptions, you are welcome. We look forward to seeing you get dirty here!

Student Responsibilites

As Pottery Northwest attempts to create a professional learning situation, class members are expected to participate in the loading, unloading, and firing of class kilns under the guidance of class instructors, and in studio maintenance and cleanup. Further, in keeping with the educational focus, student use of studio facilities to produce goods for commercial sale is not acceptable. Pottery-making can be a potentially hazardous activity. It is the responsibility of every student to exercise caution at all times within the Pottery.
