What should I do if I miss a class at Third Coast Clay? Do you offer a credit or may I attend a different class?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, Third Coast Clay is unable to credit you for a missed class. However, we suggest that you utilize your open studio hours to make up for the missed class.

Open studio hours are designated times when you can come to the studio and work on your projects independently. These hours are included in the cost of your class and provide a great opportunity for you to catch up on any missed work or get ahead on future projects.

Please consult the studio schedule for open studio hours or speak with your instructor for more information.
