Welcome to Folly Design Studio.

This website, www.follydesignstudio.com, is the online home of Folly Design Studio, an independent ceramics practice based in Dublin, Ireland.

By using this website, you agree to the terms set out below. These terms are intended to explain how the website and services provided by Folly Design Studio operate in a clear and straightforward way.

1. About Folly Design Studio

Folly Design Studio is a ceramics practice operated by Tatiana Smith-St Kitts.

The studio creates handmade ceramic objects and offers ceramics-related services including workshops, private classes, collaborations and commissioned work.

The website is primarily used to showcase Folly Design Studio's work, provide information about upcoming activities and allow visitors to make enquiries.

2. Using This Website

You are welcome to browse and use this website for personal and informational purposes.

You agree not to use the website:

• For any unlawful purpose;

• To attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or its systems;

• To interfere with the operation or security of the website;

• To copy, reproduce or commercially exploit the content of the website without permission.

I make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information on this website is accurate and up to date. However, information, images, availability, dates and descriptions may change from time to time.

3. Handmade Work

Folly Design Studio creates handmade ceramic work.

Each piece is made individually and may contain natural variations in shape, size, texture, colour, glaze, surface and finish. These variations are a characteristic of handmade ceramics rather than indications of a defect.

Photographs on the website are intended to represent the work as accurately as possible. However, colours and textures may appear differently depending on your screen, device, lighting and other factors.

Where dimensions or other specifications are provided, these are intended as a guide and may vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the work.

4. Purchases

Folly Design Studio does not currently operate an online shop through this website.

Ceramic pieces may occasionally be available for purchase directly from the studio, at markets, exhibitions, events, through collaborations with other businesses, or through other sales channels.

Where a purchase is made directly with Folly Design Studio, the relevant price, payment arrangements and any other terms will be agreed with the customer before payment is made.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions limits any statutory consumer rights that apply to you under Irish or EU law.

5. Workshops & Classes

Folly Design Studio offers and facilitates pottery workshops, private classes and other ceramics experiences from time to time.

The website currently provides information and enquiry opportunities for these activities rather than an online booking system.

Submitting an enquiry does not constitute a confirmed booking.

Where a workshop or private class is agreed, the details will be confirmed directly with the participant, including where relevant:

• Date and time;

• Location;

• Duration;

• Price;

• Number of participants;

• What materials are included;

• Payment arrangements;

• Cancellation or rescheduling arrangements.

Any cancellation terms applicable to a particular workshop or private class will be communicated before the booking is confirmed.

6. Workshop Safety

Ceramics involves the use of clay, tools, equipment, glazes and, in some circumstances, kilns and other studio equipment.

Participants are expected to follow reasonable safety instructions provided by Folly Design Studio, the workshop facilitator and/or the studio hosting the class.

Participants should inform the facilitator in advance of any relevant accessibility requirements or other information that may affect their safe participation.

Folly Design Studio will take reasonable steps to provide a safe and appropriate workshop environment.

7. Commissions

Folly Design Studio may accept commissions for bespoke ceramic work.

Commission enquiries are discussed individually and do not constitute an agreement to produce work until the details have been agreed.

Before work begins, the customer will be informed of the relevant details, which may include:

• Proposed design;

• Dimensions;

• Materials and finishes;

• Price;

• Deposit or payment arrangements;

• Estimated production timeframe;

• Collection or delivery arrangements.

Because commissioned pieces are handmade, the final work may contain small variations from sketches, reference images or initial discussions.

Where a piece is made specifically to a customer's specifications or is personalised, cancellation and refund rights may differ from those applying to standard goods, subject to applicable consumer law.
