Hand-building class — no wheel involved. Great if you prefer a quieter, more sculptural approach.
Wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on.
Pieces take approximately 8 weeks for firing. We'll notify you when ready.
Glaze results vary naturally due to chemical reactions during firing. Pieces may occasionally crack during firing due to air bubbles or uneven surfaces; these outcomes are not refundable. Collect your piece within one month of notification. Pieces not collected after that are discarded.
Bookings are non-refundable. Need another date? We may be able to move your booking within 3 months, for 60% of the class price. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, we can’t let you join.
