Student and workshop details
Record the student's name, class date, and handbuilding, wheel, or decorating session. Identify youth students and the guardian responsible for consent and pickup.
02
Studio activities and access
Describe the tools and processes students will use. Mark kiln rooms, material storage, mixers, and other staff-only areas clearly when they are outside the class scope.
03
Tools, movement, and material risks
Explain sharp tools, moving wheels, slippery clay residue, repetitive hand movements, and exposure to studio materials. Describe heat risks only for areas or processes students may encounter.
04
Clothing and equipment rules
Insert instructions for securing hair, loose clothing, and jewelry around wheels. Explain how students request tool help and which tasks require the instructor's demonstration first.
05
Cleanup and material handling
Describe approved wet-cleaning methods, handwashing, food restrictions, and how clay or glaze waste is collected. Tell students to report spills rather than improvise a cleanup method.

Questions to settle

Review before you publish.

Should beginners agree to kiln-operation terms?

Only describe kiln operation as a student activity when it is actually taught and authorized. For most introductory workshops, explain the restricted area and staff handling of firing instead.

Can paint-your-own pottery use this structure?

Yes, after removing wheel and shaping activities that are not offered. Focus on the decorating materials, table tools, handling of breakable pieces, and the studio's firing and pickup process.

Where should firing damage and collection deadlines go?

Put them in clear studio service terms students can find before booking. The participation waiver can reference those terms, while its main job remains explaining classroom activities and obtaining consent.
