Those that notify staff of absence within a week of the start date will not receive a refund. Lack of communication about absence from class will not result in a refund.

Our newsletter is a great resource to stay in the loop.

The Digs welcomes make-up sessions during our Day Pass hours: Saturdays and Sundays 12pm-5pm.

Keep in mind this is independent work time, and the instructor will not be present for instruction. We recommend taking your make-up day after you've had a session or two with the instructor so you have a better idea on how to facilitate your own work time & project manage.
We also recommend our Youtube Channel, as it covers beginner wheel and hand-building techniques. More practice time the better when it comes to learning clay!

Studio Experience is required for Day Pass.

We consider one class or a workshop studio experience!
