Class cancellation policy for Summer Camps:

• The Potter’s Shop will retain a $10 processing fee for all refunds on classes that are held as scheduled. Class fees can be refunded if the student withdraws prior to two weeks before the beginning of classes, but the processing fee is not refundable. There are no refunds once a class has started. No refunds or credit will be given for missed classes, events or workshops.  This includes absences due to unexpected events or personal circumstances such as illness.  For classes cancelled by TPS due to weather or instructor illness, a makeup class will be rescheduled before the end of the session.  We reserve the right to cancel classes or workshops if the minimum enrollment is not reached.
