      <description>&lt;p&gt;Whether you are a hobbyist, a student or an experienced potter or simply have fingers itching to play with clay, our doors are open to you for a fun afternoon in Open Studio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ages 8+. Under 14 must be accompanied by a registered adult.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fee includes clay, glazes, firing and use of studio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reserve your spot online. Advance registration and payment required&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's Included:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Access to our large studio equipped with pottery wheels and hand building tables.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Your choice of theme project, free building or wheel (subject to availability)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Guidance from an experienced Guild member.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Clay to make up to 2 or 3 small pieces.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Your work fired with the glaze of your choice.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="padding:1rem; border:1px solid black;"&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cancellation Policy:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Fees are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another session but can be transferred for the same day to a family or friend if you are not able to attend. Participant needs to bring the copy of payment confirmation to be admitted.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;There are no make-up options for unattended classes.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age Requirement:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Participants age 14 and older can register for Open Studio independently without parental supervision.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Only paid participants are allowed in the studio during Open Studio.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Participants age 8-14 years old must be accompanied by a paid participant who is 18 years or older and available to supervise the youth.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When can I pick up my work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;All work is first bisque fired, glazed and fired again. This process takes 8-10 weeks. Pieces will generally be ready for pickup at the next Open Studio session the following month.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;You will be notified by the Open Studio Team when your work will be available for pickup.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Participants must be subscribed to our Guild's mailing list in order to receive pickup notifications.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What can I do during Open Studio?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Participants will be provided with enough clay to make up to 2-3 small pieces.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Samples and ideas are provided. Leaders will review your plan to make sure you can make the item(s) successfully within the time provided.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Participants age 10 and above can use the wheel if there is a Studio Lead available to instruct.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;All pieces must be finished in the session. At the end of the session you will be able to choose your glaze.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Any unused clay remains the property of the Guild and cannot be taken home.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How will my work be finished?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Finished work will be bisqued (fired in the kiln) and then dipped in glaze and fired a second time. The finished work will be coated with a food safe glaze (dishwasher and microwave safe).&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will my piece shrink when it is fired?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Clay shrinks in the firing and will be approximately 15% smaller when it is complete.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Participants age 14 and older can register for Open Studio independently without parental supervision.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Only paid participants are allowed in the studio during Open Studio.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Participants age 8-14 years old must be accompanied by a paid participant who is 18 years or older and available to supervise the youth.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When can I pick up my work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;All work is first bisque fired, glazed and fired again. This process takes 8-10 weeks. Pieces will generally be ready for pickup at the next Open Studio session the following month.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;You will be notified by the Open Studio Team when your work will be available for pickup.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Participants must be subscribed to our Guild's mailing list in order to receive pickup notifications.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What can I do during Open Studio?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Participants will be provided with enough clay to make up to 2-3 small pieces.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Samples and ideas are provided. Leaders will review your plan to make sure you can make the item(s) successfully within the time provided.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Participants age 10 and above can use the wheel if there is a Studio Lead available to instruct.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;All pieces must be finished in the session. At the end of the session you will be able to choose your glaze.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Any unused clay remains the property of the Guild and cannot be taken home.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How will my work be finished?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Finished work will be bisqued (fired in the kiln) and then dipped in glaze and fired a second time. The finished work will be coated with a food safe glaze (dishwasher and microwave safe).&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will my piece shrink when it is fired?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Clay shrinks in the firing and will be approximately 15% smaller when it is complete.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
