This agreement is between [Studio name] (the "Studio") and the participant named in this form.
- Risks. Pottery uses wheels, tools, kilns, glazes and clay dust. These can cause cuts, burns, strain and irritation. The participant accepts these risks.
- Safety. The participant follows staff instructions, keeps out of the kiln area unless invited and cleans up wet so dust stays low.
- Release. The participant releases the Studio and its staff from claims for injury or loss that happen during classes or open studio, except where caused by gross negligence.
- Firing. Pieces can crack or change in the kiln. The Studio is not responsible for work damaged during firing.
- Unclaimed work. Finished pieces not picked up within [number] days may be recycled or donated.
- Minors. A parent or guardian signs for participants under 18.
- Cancellations. Classes cancelled less than [number] hours before the start time cost [fee].
By signing below, I confirm that I have read this agreement and agree to it.
