Refunds - Reschedules:

Because each week can only have a certain amount of students and teachers are getting materials in advance based on reservations, we do NOT offer refunds or reschedules. So make sure you book for the correct week BEFORE YOU PAY!

WAIVER:

ATTENTION BITTER ROOT POTTERY STUDENTS:

By reserving a class at Bitter Root, you acknowledge that you have read the waiver below and agree to all terms and conditions, rules and guidelines on this entire page (including wearing proper face-coverings and NO REFUNDS OR RESCHEDULES)

OCCASIONALLY, PIECES DO NOT MAKE IT THROUGH THE FIRING PROCESS DUE TO AIR BUBBLES, CONSTRUCTION ISSUES, ETC. OCCASIONALLY, FIRINGS DO NOT GO AS PLANNED AND GLAZES MAY COME OUT DIFFERENT THAN EXPECTED. STAFF CANNOT CONTROL THE RESULTS OF FIRING ONCE A POT IS IN THE KILN. THIS IS SIMPLY THE NATURE OF THE IMPERFECT CERAMIC PROCESS. COMPLETED PIECES ARE NOT GUARANTEED.

REFUNDS WILL NOT BE ISSUED IF A PIECE DOES NOT MAKE IT.

What Is Included and What to Expect:

Each week is open to 12 students to ensure the best experience and quality instruction. Includes all instruction, aprons, clay, tools, underglazes, choice of glaze colors, post-production and firings.

Please send your child with their own water bottle with their name on it.

Each day, instructors safely prepare everything ahead of time. At the end of the day, instructors will guide the kids through a super quick clean up of their stations (Don’t worry - we’ll also save time to wash all the clay off their hands.). Staff will handle the major clean up once everyone has been picked up.

When the week is over, your child’s projects will stay at the studio. Staff will do all the post-production - glazing and firing. Once all your child’s projects are finished, the staff will contact you for pick-up.

**Please allow about 5-6 weeks for your child’s pottery to go through the entire firing post-production process. There will be so many awesome projects, we want to make sure everyone’s work is successful.**

How to Reserve:

Reserve and pay in-full online by clicking the button above labeled “BOOK”. Fill out the necessary information. Once you reserve, your name will be placed on our calendar system and you will receive an email confirmation. Save your confirmation!

Drop-off and Pick-up - Attendance:

FIRST DAY: For your child’s safety, on the first day of each session, guardians MUST come and greet the teacher and sign your child into class. After the first day, you may let the instructor know of any pick-up or drop-off changes. Safety first!

DROP OFF: Arrive at Bitter Root Pottery 10 minutes before 10am each day. Please be on time! If you are late, the class will still start and end as scheduled.

PICK UP: Pick up your child by 12:30pm, no later than 12:40pm. Timely pick-up allows staff to clean and prepare the studio for the next classes.

What to Wear and What to Bring:

Each child should have their own water bottle with their name on it

Come dressed comfortably with masks, long hair tied back and nice jewelry and watches removed (they won’t get hurt but it is a pain to clean the clay off!). Please be aware that some of the new clays we will be using can stain clothes so make sure they choose what to wear accordingly. We do provide clean aprons; but wear clothes you don’t mind getting clay on.

Parking:

During the week, parking is street 2 hours metered parking so pay attention to the signs. There are also valets located around the surrounding neighborhood. On weekends, select parking is available in our backlot.
