Like all art processes, printmaking has its flaws. Lino is a soft material to cut and even print masters can slip and put a line where they didn’t want one. Time to reassess your ‘design, or ignore it! Lino cutting tools are sharp and you may cut yourself, please take all precautions as demonstrated by your teacher, and have your cutting hand in front of all other limbs. The process can definitely lead to small, or larger cuts that do bleed, deeper cuts may require a stitch or 3! By participating in our Print Making classes, you are accepting this risk.
Printmaking
Running out of string!!! This is so annoying for you, but as a beginner (or even a macrame master) this happens from time to time. We will help you add string where possible to complete your creation, but this may cause some slight aesthetic differences to expectations.
I didn't get my project completed!! Don't worry, we have very clear printed instructions that you can take home to complete your project.
Macrame
Please note that most projects will have size limitations due to the creative process and studio storage requirements. These will be explained at all workshops and classes, so you’ll never need to worry.
We take all care with you and your special creations, but we are not mother nature and unfortunately, some plants may not make it. Eventually your Kokedama may need some more string and all plants like some plant food from time to time depending on their individual needs.
Kokedama
Please note that most projects will have size limitations due to the creative process and studio storage requirements. These will be explained at all workshops and classes, so you’ll never need to worry.
We take all care with you and your special creations, the nature of creating art out of broken tiles means from time to time you may cut yourself. Yes, we will have a band aid for you. PPE is supplied and we suggest you use it; however, tile edges can be sharp and the process can lead to small cuts that do bleed. By participating in our Mosaic classes, you are accepting this risk.

Please note that most projects will have size limitations due to the firing process and kiln packing requirements. These will be explained at all workshops and classes, so you’ll never need to worry.
Breakages: At Lake House Studio we care for your pieces like they are our very own. Unfortunately, even the best ceramic artists experience breakages. Clay can be a fickle friend and from time to time all clay artists will experience a breakage. Clay can crack when drying or in firing, pieces can fall off, glazes can crawn or flake and on occasions, things can actually explode in the kiln. We will do everything possible to protect your creations (and our kiln) from all of these mishaps, but clay does have a mind of its own and we can only offer an apology if your piece decides its own story.
Left-over clay: Clients who rebook a class are more than welcome to continue with any clay from previous classes. If clients have left over clay and are not continuing with classes, they can take it home. If clients make more pieces at home Lake House Clay can fire these at additional costs. Any clay left at Lake House Clay by clients who have not rebooked a class will become the property of Lake House Clay.

All the materials you need to complete your projects are included in the costs of all workshops and classes. You’ll never be charged additional payments for the advertised projects.
If you wish to create something beyond the advertised projects, just chat with your instructor and we can assist you to create the artwork you are dreaming of. Additional charges may be incurred, but you’ll always know upfront exactly what the cost will be.
Lake House Clay and Art Studio is a working artistic space and some dust and mess are inevitable. PPE is provided where necessary and our studio is kept as free as possible from dust. Please be conscious of your actions and always listen to the instructor, if in doubt, ask. Safety is everyone’s business.
By participating in ay classes, workshops, or events, you are accepting this risk that you may be in an environment with some dust, you could accidently cut yourself, and your project may break. (We will be there for you!)
