More Spots Available for Valentine's Day Pottery Class at Hayden Tract Location

WHAT TO EXPECT

Perfect for beginners, our full-service Valentine’s special wheel-throwing class includes clay, tools, choice of glaze color, and firing of your pieces. The studio will be specially decorated for the classes. You’ll receive step-by-step instruction on how to make a pot on the wheel. Afterward, everyone will do a quick clean-up and choose from a variety of glaze colors for your pot. Your pots stay at the studio and staff handle all the post-production of your pieces - glazing and firing. Once both yours and your partner’s pot is finished, the staff will contact you for pick-up.

**Please allow 7-8 weeks for your pottery to go through the entire firing process**

From start to finish, this full-service pottery experience is something you will always remember!

BEFORE BOOKING - Read all the information on this page. By purchasing a class at Bitter Root, you acknowledge you’ve read and agreed to all terms and conditions, student waiver, attendance, no refunds, and no reschedules.
PLEASE NOTE: Classes fill up up fast and we do not refund or change reservations once they are made. Make sure you are choosing the right date and time!

HOW TO BOOK

Choose your ticket from our available dates and times. Keep in mind, spots per session are limited AND this is Valentine's Day!! Spots will sell out fast. If you do not see the time you want, it is because it is sold out and you’ll need to choose another slot.

Once you reserve you will receive an email confirmation. Save your confirmation! On the day of your class, arrive at Bitter Root Pottery 10 minutes before your time.

WHAT TO WEAR

Come dressed comfortably with 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!). The clay will wash out and we do provide clean aprons; but wear clothes you don’t mind getting clay on. Long nails are not ideal for pottery but we have techniques to work around it!

ATTENDANCE, REFUNDS, RESCHEDULES

We do not offer refunds or reschedules for tardiness or missed bookings - all sales are final. We cannot change a reservation once it is made and the teacher is scheduled. If you are late, the class will still end at the listed time. Valentine’s Day tickets are non-transferable to any other class if missed or unable to attend.

STUDENT WAIVER: ATTENTION BITTER ROOT POTTERY STUDENTS:

By reserving your Valentine’s Day spot, you acknowledge and agree to the studio policies listed on this entire page (including attendance, no refunds, no reschedules) and understand the following waiver:

Please allow 7-8 weeks for you pottery to complete the firing process. Staff will contact you when everyone’s pottery in your group is ready to be picked up.  From the time of your contact, you have 30 days to come pick up your pottery. After 30 days, your work may not be available for pick-up as we need to clear room for new student work.

Occasionally, pieces do not make it through the firing process due to air bubbles, construction issues, etc. Sometimes, firings do not go as planned and glazes may come out different than expected. Staff cannot control the results of the 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 YOUR PIECE DOES NOT MAKE IT.

You are coming to Bitter Root Pottery for the whole experience of working in a ceramics studio with a knowledgeable, friendly instructor! Our instructors have been working for years in this discipline to learn its many nuances and to get to the skills they have today. These skills cannot be imparted in one 2 hour session. So while you may have ideas of making a perfect bowl, we encourage you to put those expectations down and focus on enjoying the entire experience of working with clay and engaging with the creative process so in-depth.
