As soon as an activity is in our RecTrac system, individuals can begin signing up. Registration cutoff is typically 48 hours prior to class start date, but may be extended in certain circumstances. The minimum number of participants must be reached by the 48-hour deadline in order for the class to run. Payment is required at the time of registration.
What is the cancellation policy for classes?

Can I have my artwork shipped to me?
We recommend that customers pick up their own projects and personally pack for mailing if needed.
What forms of payment are accepted?
We accept U.S. dollars, credit/debit cards and checks. Euros are not accepted.
How long does pottery take to be fired and glazed?
The typical turnaround time is 1-2 weeks. The ceramics kiln is run twice a week depending on the number of items needed to be fired. Bisque pieces are fired once they are completely dry which can take up to a week.
Do you offer private classes?
Private classes can be scheduled based on the availability of the instructors. Most private classes require a minimum of 6 individuals, but others can be done with a minimum of 3-4. Come in and see what we can offer you!
We also offer special programming and/or classes for groups such as FRGs, scouts, homeschool, etc.
Can I organize a class at another location?
As long as the owner/manager of the location is in agreement, we can potentially take our classes to other locations. Depending on the activity and supplies needed, the Arts & Crafts Center may be a more suitable location, but certain classes travel just fine!
Can I volunteer to teach classes?
Definitely! We are always looking for volunteers to help diversify what we offer at the Arts & Crafts Center. Register through the Volunteer Corps at ACS and come by to show us what you would like to offer!
