Each session includes 1.5 hour time slot in which you can get creative and make your very own masterpiece. We'll set you up with your wheel, equipment and clay, and give you a quick brief on how to get the best results for your work. Once you have finished your very own unique creation leave it with us for between 7-14 days to be fired in our on own site kiln. You can come back to collect and why not put your artistic skills to go and paint* your masterpiece. (*painting charge additionally)
