Workshop Registration Information & Policies

Workshops and demos are publicized as visiting artists are confirmed, usually several months in advance of the actual workshop dates. You can find the latest workshop and demo information on our website HERE.
Exact dates for registration are announced on our website and through our Events Newsletter — sign up HERE. (We send a couple of Events Newsletters a month — we promise we won’t bombard you!)

After you register for a workshop, we’ll share specific details about personal tools and any other items or materials you should bring. The Potters’ Studio provides access to all Studio tools and equipment you’ll need over the weekend, such as banding wheels, bats, or foam.
All workshops include clay for the workshop weekend and any glazes, underglazes, and other materials integral to the workshop curriculum. Should you want additional clay, you can purchase it at the Studio.
Most of our workshops include bisque firing of work completed over the workshop weekend. The Potters’ Studio will dry your finished greenware and bisque it within a month of the workshop.
On occasion, workshop curricula are fully focused on technical skills and/or creative exploration and/or very large pieces that need more than a single weekend to finish, making it impractical to bisque workshop pieces. We encourage participants in these workshops to take their in-progress work and leftover workshop clay home!
Unfortunately we are unable to ship fired workshop bisqueware to participants. You are welcome to make arrangements for someone else to pick up workshop pieces for you.

When to register: Registration opens on a staggered schedule. Potters’ Studio Members and current Students can sign up a week before general public registration opens.
How to register: Register for a workshop or demo by sending an email to events@thepottersstudio.org. Please include the Visiting Artist’s name in your email.
How to pay: To complete registration for a workshop or demo, you must have an account with The Potters’ Studio. Create an account HERE.
You must register + receive an email confirmation from events@thepottersstudio .org + pay in full before attending. We do not offer post-workshop payment options.
Payment must be received in full no later than two weeks before the first day of a workshop or demo. Any unpaid registrations after this date will be cancelled and the spot offered to the next person on the waitlist.
Members taking advantage of autopay (sign up HERE) will be invoiced in the month of registration for a workshop or demo.
Workshops and demos fill up quickly! We recommend emailing to register as early as possible after the registration opens.

All notices of workshop cancellation incur a $25 processing fee and must be received via email (events@thepottersstudio .org) by 5pm TWO weeks + one business day prior to the scheduled first day. We do not provide refunds for cancellation requests received after this deadline.
- For workshops starting on a Friday, written notice of cancellation must be received by 5pm Wednesday TWO weeks prior.
- For workshops starting on a Saturday, written notice of cancellation must be received by 5pm Thursday TWO weeks prior.
The Potters’ Studio does not offer partial refunds.
We communicate with you via the email address you provide when you email us to register and recommend adding events@thepottersstudio.org to your address book.

All notices of demo cancellation incur a $25 processing fee and must be received via email (events@thepottersstudio.org) no later than 72 hours prior to the scheduled start time.

If The Potters’ Studio must cancel a workshop or demo for any reason, students will be notified as soon as possible and The Potters’ Studio will provide a full refund.

We maintain a running waitlist for all workshops and demos that sell out — everyone asking to sign up is automatically added to the waitlist once a workshop or demo is full. If spaces open up, we will contact people on the waitlist in the order they emailed asking to join a workshop or demo.
