Class Policies

By submitting this scholarship application, you acknowledge that you will be agreeing to abide by each of the Turner Center’s class policies, listed below, if your scholarship is approved. Some of these policies are class-specific, however, you will still need to agree with all policies. PLEASE NOTE: Failure to follow these policies may result in excusal from class without a transfer, as our policies are designed to protect and assist each of our patrons (e.g., closed-toe shoes are our only attire policy and are required to protect our patrons from sharp objects such as glass, etc.).
Media Release: The Turner Center’s full media release, which applies to all videos, photos, etc. can be found at https://turnercenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Media_Photography_Feb2025.pdf. Your agreement to class policies during registration is equivalent to signing this form. In summary, you grant the Turner Center, in respect to media (e.g. photographs, video, etc.) of you alone or with others, the absolute and irrevocable right and permission to use, re-use, publish, and re-publish the same in whole or in part. You also release and hold harmless TCA from any reasonable expectation of privacy or confidentiality for the media specified above and acknowledge that participation is voluntary (opt-out by contacting Art Education Administrator Hailey Rathmann at hrathmann@turnercenter.org or 229.247.2787).(Required)
Refunds: We require two business days (Mon.-Fri.) notice to issue a refund or transfer a class. For camps, special workshops, and all classes, workshops, and camps at maximum capacity, a refund or transfer may or may not be given, regardless of the amount of notice given, due to high demand. Refunds or transfers can only be approved by the Art Education Administrator.(Required)
For scholarship students, this means that scholarships may not be transferred between classes or class dates if 48-hours notice of not being able to attend an approved class or workshop is not received. If the class is full, the scholarship may not be transferred.
Payment: Due to limited availability, no spots in a class can be reserved unless payment for the spot is received both by the minimum registration deadline and before a class, workshop, or camp reaches capacity.(Required)
For scholarship students, this means that we will not be able to hold a spot in a class until a scholarship application has been processed, which usually takes 3-10 business days.
Artwork pickup: Creations from most of our programs can be taken home the same day of the class. Exceptions apply to all creations made in ceramics and glass classes. Creations from the ceramics classes take four to six weeks to be fired and held for pickup, on average. Creations from glass art classes take three to five days to be fired and held for pickup, on average. Students will receive an email and/or a call from the Turner Center when creations are ready for pickup. Creations will only be held for 90 days after this notice, after which they will become property of the Turner Center.(Required)
Accommodations: If you need any special accommodations or have any special circumstances the instructor should prepare for, please contact Art Education Administrator Hailey Rathmann at hrathmann@turnercenter.org or 229.247.2787 before completing your registration.(Required)
Attire: Closed-toe shoes are required.(Required)
Clay and glass supplies: All clay, glazes, and glass materials used must be provided by the Turner Center, unless they are approved as kiln safe by the Turner Center’s Lead Instructor & Studio Manager (Ramiro Santillan, Ceramics) (Emma Kostopolus, Glass). Using non-Turner Center approved materials may destroy equipment and impact the overall program.(Required)
Weekday Pottery Makeup Classes: Student payments are for the month registered for – for example, payments for March Weekday Pottery Classes on Wednesdays 10am-Noon can only be used for March Weekday Pottery Classes on Wednesdays 10am-Noon, unless a cancellation or transfer of the registration is approved by the Art Education Administrator (as stated in the refund policy). If a student must miss a scheduled class, they should discuss it ahead of time with the instructor or contact the Art Education Administrator and find another class time to attend as a makeup session. This can only be done twice per month. For any additional missed classes beyond two, or for a missed class that the student does not request a makeup class for during the month the class was missed, the absence acts as a class taken. The Turner Center prioritizes and values all long-term and returning students in Weekday Pottery, and these students have first access to registration in person or by phone. However, due to limited capacity, any Weekday Pottery spots not paid for at least 2 weeks in advance of the next month will be open to the public, and cannot be guaranteed to a returning student (i.e. payment for May not made by the beginning of the 3rd week of April means that a student’s spot will be open for registration, and the returning student may or may not get that spot, as it will also become available to waitlist students and/or to the general public).(Required)
