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 please make sure you book for the correct week before you pay!

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: Each day of your child’s session, please arrive at Bitter Root Pottery 10 minutes before 10am. (Don’t forget a water bottle) Please show up on time! If you are late, the class will still start and end at the listed time.

PICK UP: Pick up your child at 12:30pm - No later than 12:40pm! Please pick up your child on time so staff can clean and prepare the studio for the next classes.

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

Come dressed comfortably, long hair tied back and nice jewellery 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.

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.

From the time of your contact, you have 30 days to come pick up your child’s pottery. After 30 days, their 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. 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.
