Good to know
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Every course starts from centring, and our teachers have seen every wobble there is.
What should I wear?
Short nails, sleeves you can push up and clothes you don't mind getting clay on. We lend aprons.
How long until I get my pots?
About three weeks: drying, a bisque firing, glazing, then the glaze firing.
Do you run kids' classes?
School-holiday handbuilding for ages 8–14, with a grown-up nearby. Ask us for dates.
