More Important Information:

• CLASS TYPE: This is a painting and yoga session, NOT a wheel class. You will be working with premade pots, not on the pottery wheel.
• GLAZING: You will get to paint premade pottery. Your pottery will be dipped in clear and fired in the kiln after the session by staff.
• CARE: Ceramics should not be exposed to extreme temperature changes. Hand-wash or allow to cool to room temperature from the top rack of your dishwasher help prevent shattering. Avoid using boiling water. With care, your future little pots can bring you joy for a long while.
• TURNAROUND TIME: Pottery is a process and takes time to fire and make it through our process. Your creations will be ready for pickup from The Cozy Bookwyrm studio approximately 4-6 weeks from the workshop date. You should receive a pickup email when they're finished, but if it is eaten by filters, please come by the studio after 4 weeks to check on your pots or send us an email. Any pottery left at the studio 3 months after the workshop date will be donated, so please pick up your work in time!
• YOU MUST SIGN YOUR POTTERY. Bookworm Pottery & Co. is not liable for lost pieces that are unsigned and mistakenly claimed by another student.
• DISCLAIMER: Not all practice pieces are guaranteed to make it out of the kiln if instructions are not followed. Inconsistencies in glaze application can cause damages in the firing process. However, the goal of this workshop is to learn and have fun, not the finished practice piece, so don’t stress about it! If your pottery is damaged, we will offer you a discounted makeup painting session.
• REFUND POLICY: All sales are final. Tickets cannot be refunded, prorated or exchanged for another workshop due to the special nature of our offerings and very limited enrollment. If something comes up that impacts your attendance, you are welcome to resell or gift your tickets. In the event of an extreme emergency, such as the death of a close family member, please email us at bookwormpotteryco@gmail.com before the workshop to discuss options.
