I cannot view online content I'm subscribed to.

If you cannot see the premium content online to which you subscribed (such as the recent issue of Ceramics Monthly), then you may not be logged in properly.

Please ensure that your subscription is current, that it includes access to online content, and that it has not expired.

Print Subscriptions: When should I expect my printed magazine to arrive?
Please see our print mailing schedules here: Ceramics Monthly Print Mailing Schedule | Pottery Making Illustrated Print Mailing Schedule

 

Note: It is critical that you review and validate with us the mailing address we have for you in our system. This ensures more efficient delivery of your magazine. If you’ve signed up for a subscription via a third-party subscription service, we have no control how that service may have provided us with your mailing address. As such, assuming the address we were provided is correct or not, we cannot be responsible for any issue that is not delivered successfully.

How do I subscribe by mail or fax?

Understanding my recurring charges.

As a subscriber (or ICAN member), you have the option to sign up for an Annual or Monthly subscription term. When you sign up, you provide us with your credit card. That credit card information is stored securely—none of our staff ever have access to your full credit card information. We contract a third-party, data-compliant service company to securely manage our credit card transactions.

If you have selected a Monthly subscription (or membership), your credit card will be charged every month after the date you signed up. If you signed up for an Annual subscription (or membership), your credit card will be charged one year after the day you originally signed. To deactivate auto-renewal and recurring payments, please contact us directly at customerservice@ceramicartsnetwork.org for assistance. Thank you.

How do I cancel my subscription or membership?

Log into our website. Once you are logged in, click "View Account" at the top of the browser page. Clicking this will take you to your My Account page. Once you are on the My Account page, click My Subscriptions in the left-side menu. You will now see your current subscription (or membership). Click the “Cancel” button.

How do I change my mailing address?

If you are moving or relocating for a season, please contact our customer service team to update your mailing address. Due to the requirements of our printer and the mailing services we use, we create our subscriber mailing labels about 4-5 weeks prior to the issue being mailed. So, if you are planning a move, please contact us about 5 weeks prior to scheduled mailing dates. Please see our print mailing schedules here: Ceramics Monthly Print Mailing Schedule | Pottery Making Illustrated Print Mailing Schedule
