due to the nature of ceramics, be aware there is always a risk of something happening to the pieces during the firing process. as a small business, we cannot provide a full refund for any glaze defects, breakages, or cracking of the pieces. due to the schedule of kiln firings, there may be delays with the finishing of student pieces. students are responsible for picking up their pieces once they are ready. Maracuyá Studio is not responsible for any work left longer than 30 days.

cancellation policy: open studio membership is month-to-month and can be canceled at any time with no charge. kindly let us know a week before your next billing date. must contact me within 48 hours for a full refund.
