Health Conditions

Do not attend a pottery class if you are sick and can potentially spread your illness to others.

Pottery class may be not good if you have an allergy that could be triggered by the materials or activities involved in the class. Pottery classes typically involve working with clay, which can be drying and irritating to the skin.

If you have a respiratory condition, such as asthma, the dust from the clay could potentially trigger an attack. Additionally, some people may be allergic to the materials used in glazes, or to the fumes produced by the kiln when firing pottery.

If you are unsure whether a pottery class is suitable for you, it is always best to consult with your doctor or the instructor before signing up. Additionally, if you have any known allergies, be sure to let the instructor know so that they can take appropriate precautions.

Pregnant women

For pregnant women, pottery classes can be a fun and creative way to stay active and engaged during pregnancy. However, it is important for pregnant women to be cautious and to avoid activities that could potentially be harmful to their health or the health of the baby.

Pottery classes may involve working with materials that could be harmful if inhaled or ingested, such as clay and glazes, and it is important for pregnant women to take precautions to avoid exposure to these materials.

Pregnant women should also avoid standing or sitting in one position for long periods of time, and they should take frequent breaks to stretch and move around.
