(i) Your preferred first lesson date.
(ii) Payment of $107 for first lesson & clay ($77 +$30).

(Never email me bank or credit-card details.)

Credits are transferable but not generally refundable (this does not diminish your statutory rights).

Ask for a senior discount of 15 %, on Wednesday and Friday daytime classes only.

Lessons bought in 2011 are valid also in 2012 (and 2012 in 2013), subject to the class rules below.

1. Courtesy Saves: If you can't attend any class, your lesson credit is only protected (ie "rolled over") if you email or text me before the lesson, AND provide a specific "date of return to class". If you do not provide a return date your balance will decline each week. When your balance reached zero, your shelve will be cleared (to make space for new students) and all clay recycled.

If you let me know via email/text, lessons can be rolled over for up to 2 years.

2. Similarly, if you are returning to classes after a prolonged absence, please contact me well before to ensure a place is reserved for you.

3. You can change which day and time you attend classes, and even attend more than one lesson per week, provided you have first discussed it with me, and there is space in the class.

4. If you are likely to be away for more than two months, you will be asked to temporarily take your clay and creations home (so to make space for new students, and to encourage you to keep making at home). Upon your return a space will be again made available for you.

5. Want more flexibility? Just ask.
