Payment for all Firing: We utilize an online payment system for all kiln firing. All firing must be paid for prior to firing with a credit card via our online system. You will be given detailed information on how to do this in your first class. You can access the kiln firing system at the following website: https://iowaceramicscenter.square.site/ End of Session Policies: Completed and fired work will only be held for 30 days after the end of session. Students must clear off their shelves by the last class session, so that we can assign shelves to students in the next session. All work or personal items left on shelves after the final class will become property of the studio.
