Frequently Asked Questions
Where Can I Buy Pottery?
I am aiming to have new products available on my website by Feb 1 2025. Keep checking back and be sure to join the e-mail list!
A small selection of my work can also be found at the Train Station Pottery Shop in Campbell River.
If you're interested in shopping in person, contact me!
How Do I Use A Gift Card?
Gift cards make amazing gifts because they do not expire. They can be used to purchase finished pottery, or towards a multi-week workshop or one night event (coming spring 2025)
To use a gift card towards your purchase - select the items or events you'd like and then head to your "Shopping Cart" on the top right hand side of your screen. Click "checkout"
Now you will be prompted to fill in your contact, delivery, and payment details - as well as your gift card code to use towards your purchase.
Where is the pottery studio?
Mabel Ceramics is a home-based business in Black Creek.
The studio is by appointment only.
Once you have booked a workshop, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with studio address and instructions.
What do I need to bring to my pottery lesson?
Wear clothing that is comfortable and OK to get dirty. Clay and glaze materials will wash out of clothing, but some dark clay bodies may stain light clothing.
Wear comfortable shoes. Not boots!
Pack light. There are a few coat hooks for jackets and bags, but the studio is small!
Long hair should be tied up.
Long nails should be trimmed short.
How long does it take for my pottery to be finished?
Projects can take up to six weeks to be completed, but can sometimes be ready in as little as two weeks! You will be contacted by text or e-mail when your project is ready to be picked up from the Mabel Ceramics storefront.
Is it OK to eat or drink in the studio?
YES!
It's totally cool if you'd like to bring yourself a beverage or snack to enjoy during class.
I have hot tea, cold drinks, and small snacks at the studio for you to enjoy.
Oops! I missed a session. What can I do?
Please ensure you can commit to all classes. Make up classes are not being offered at this time.
Remember to mark your calendars with your workshop or event dates!
I'm signed up for a workshop and want to cancel. What can I do?
Cancellations are accepted up to 7 days before the first class. All cancellations are subject to a $50 administration fee. If a customer cancels within 7 days of the workshop, they will not be eligible for a refund.
