Pottery Painting T&Cs

Yarnwick Nook Pottery Painting – Terms & Conditions
Your Time in Our Studio

When you book or visit Yarnwick Nook, you’re stepping into a space designed for calm creativity and slow paced joy. We ask all guests to treat the studio, our team, and fellow makers with kindness and care. If behaviour becomes unsafe or disruptive, we may gently pause or end a session to protect the experience for everyone.

​

Bookings & Session Flow

  • Sessions run for the time stated at booking.

  • If you arrive late, your painting time may be shorter so we can honour the next booking.

  • Walkins are welcome when space allows, but not guaranteed.

  • Please book for the full size of your group, including non‑painters, so we can prepare a comfortable table.

 

Pricing & Payment

  • A studio fee per painter covers paints, tools, glazing, and firing.

  • Pottery pieces are individually priced.

  • Payment is required at booking or before leaving the studio.

  • Prices may be updated from time to time.

 

Glazing, Firing & the Nature of Handmade Work

We take great pride in caring for every piece that passes through our kiln. However, ceramics is a beautiful blend of artistry and natural science — and the kiln doesn’t always behave predictably.

By painting with us, you acknowledge that:

  • Colour shifts, small speckles, and gentle variations are part of the handmade charm.

  • Some outcomes are influenced by factors outside human control.

  • Minor imperfections are normal and celebrated in studio made pottery.

If a glaze behaves unexpectedly, we may refire your piece when it’s safe to do so. In the rare event a piece cracks or becomes damaged during firing, we’ll provide a replacement voucher so your experience remains a positive one.

 

Collecting Your Finished Pottery

  • Your pottery will be ready within the timeframe stated at your session.

  • Please collect your pieces within the collection window.

  • Uncollected items may be rehomed or recycled after the holding period, as we have limited storage space.

 

Children & Supervision

We welcome young makers, but they must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. Adults are liable for any damage caused by unsupervised children.

 

Food, Drink & Licensing

Only food and drink purchased in the studio can be enjoyed in the studio. If alcohol is served, it will always follow responsible‑service and licensing guidelines. Please follow any safety or hygiene instructions from our team.

 

Damage & Liability

  • Guests are responsible for any damage caused to studio equipment or property.

  • We cannot accept liability for personal belongings left behind or damaged.

  • Accidental damage to pottery during painting is the responsibility of the guest.

 

Refunds & Cancellations

  • Cancellations within the stated window may be refunded or rescheduled.

  • Late cancellations or no shows are nonrefundable.

  • Parties, private events, and group bookings may have their own cancellation terms.

​

Health & Safety

Please follow all guidance from our team regarding materials, tools, and equipment. Some activities may not be suitable for individuals with certain allergies or sensitivities; guests are responsible for checking suitability before taking part.

 

Photography & Media

We occasionally capture studio moments for social media and marketing. If you prefer not to appear in any photos or videos, simply let a team member know when you arrive.

 

Data Protection

Any personal information shared with us is handled with care and in line with applicable data‑protection laws. We only use your details for booking management and legal compliance.

 

Updates to These Terms

We may refresh these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The version displayed on our website or in‑studio will always be the most up to date.
