Students will only be released to persons listed on registration form at exit door, outside.

Parents may pre-arrange a different arrival/departure plan (walks home, older sibling) by approval only. 

​

POTTERY / CLAY IS AN ADVENTURE 

Ceramics is a multi-step process. There are many variables along the way that may result in breakage, color inconsistencies, etc. All work made in classes will be bisque fired and glazed. Please be aware that although every due care and attention is given to every piece I put in the kiln, once inside the kiln Epic Art cannot be held responsible for any work that cracks, explodes damaged or glaze does not turn out as expected. Unfortunately, surprises are out of my hands and also part of the many challenges and adventures of working with clay.

​

CANCELLATIONS

As a Mom of three very busy boys, I understand it is difficult balancing family activities & work! Epic Art will do its best to be flexible too.  As a small business owner, when you register, we hold your spot & turn away other artists; more so, purchase our art supplies, plan space, and additional staff based upon your registration.

​

What is our CLASS or WORKSHOP cancellation policy?

Please plan carefully as we do not offer refunds only future credit. Refunds are not provided once you have registered for a class or workshop of any kind; however, a credit towards a future registration at Epic Art will be provided on a case-by-case basis by contacting info@epic-art.com. If you receive a credit, credit must be used within 6-months and cannot be changed to a refund. If you simply don’t show up for class, there is no credit or refund.

​

What is our CAMP cancellation policy?

Full payment is due at the time of enrollment. All cancellations made more than 30-days prior to camp start date may receive a full refund. Cancellations made between 15 and 29 days before the event may receive up to half of the camp fees. Cancellations made within the 14-days of camp start date are NONREFUNDABLE. We prepare materials for each student in advance and we do not have the means to cover the costs if cancelled within the 14 day window. 

To cancel your registration, please email info@epic-art.com with your name, camper name request.

​

What if Epic Art changes a CLASS OR CANCELS?
