BEFORE BOOKING FOR KIDS CAMP:
Please read all the information on this page thoroughly.
There are no refunds or rescheduling options. Once your booking is confirmed, we cannot make changes, so please double-check the dates and times.
To reserve your tickets, click the button below. One ticket admits one child to attend.
Summer Kids Camp is open to 12 students to ensure the best experience and quality instruction. Each day will include 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 & a lunch/snack.
Each day, instructors prepare everything ahead of time. At the end of the day, instructors will guide the kids through a quick clean up of their stations (Don’t worry - we’ll also save time to wash all the clay off their hands).
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 make contact for pick-up.
**Please allow about 6-8 weeks for your child’s pottery to go through the entire firing post-production process.**
Examples of past projects can be seen on our instagram in the highlights.

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 .
Please allow at least six-eight (6-8) weeks for your 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. 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.
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 get to the skills they have today. These skills cannot be imparted in one 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.
-
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.
