Students should be prepared to fire in all weather conditions.

FIRING ONLY OPTION CANCELATION POLICY
The Firing Only option often fills up quickly! But no matter how long the wait list is, it is difficult to fill a canceled spot if it is too close to the firing, simply because waitlisted folks no longer have adequate time to make work for the firing.
UPDATED cancelation policy for Firing Only:
- Participants may cancel and request a full refund, less an administrative fee of $25, up to six full weeks before the scheduled loading.
- No refunds or credits can be issued for cancelations made less than 6 full weeks before loading. However, you are welcome to have another experienced wood firing participant take over your spot, with the wood fire resident's approval.
