We ask for a 3-month commitment, but memberships are all billed month-to-month, so your first payment will be for the remainder of the current month. 3-month commitment for students in our 6-8-week classes is waived. Pause your membership up to three full calendar months per year with no penalty - must be full calendar month pauses, and note that we do not prorate final months. Your membership begins the day you register, but you will still need to complete a full scheduled orientation before working independently. These orientations can be scheduled same day or in advance. Available orientation hours: 12-6 Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. If you’re unable to schedule a time that works for you, please reach out to us at hello@gatherpottery.com
