Make-up Classes: If you miss a session, you may sit in on another class if a seat is available. While we cannot guarantee availability, we will do our best to provide make-up options. All make-up sessions must be completed within the 8-week course period. The only exception is the final Glazing class; if missed, you may attend a subsequent glazing session to finish your work.
Finished Work: All projects must be completed and picked up within 60 days of the course completion. After 60 days, all items become the property of Cedar Oak Farm and will no longer be held.

If you need to cancel your enrollment, you must do so at least seven days before the class start date to receive a refund, minus a $25 processing fee. No refunds or "postponements" will be issued for student cancellations made within one week of the class start date.

Mixed Level
This class can have brand new beginners through Intermediate level students. All levels welcome. Time will be given to ensure beginners gain the knowledge and tools needed to learn how to throw on the wheel - more advanced students will be given challenges to work on but are asked to be helpful and allow for beginners to get the instruction needed to be successful.
Intermediate +
Students can throw a 6” cylinder with relative consistency. This class is not for beginners or those still struggling to center clay.
