In the event of adverse weather conditions, MUD Ceramics Studio remains open for classes unless a Travel Advisory recommends suspending non-essential travel.

Completed work will be ready for final pick-up two weeks after the glazing appointment. Glazing appointments are offered as a courtesy and cannot be rescheduled.
