You will be taught by me Katherine, I own and run the business / workshops.
I am a degree qualified practioner and I provide personalised one to one tuition to suit your needs.
I am fully DBS checked and I have over 6 years experience teaching ceramics.
Prices include all materials and bisque firing your item(s)(unless otherwise stated).
The workshops are suitable for ages 2+.
After you have lovingly created your item, you will leave it with me and it will be ready to collect within roughly 8 weeks. Once you’ve made your item it will need to dry out for several weeks, I will then load it into the kiln where it will be bisque fired (this essentially means baked) for 12 hours at 1000 degrees. It takes around 24 hours to cool the temperature down enough to open the kiln, now your creation is fully fired and turned from clay to ceramic. I will get in contact for you to collect your finished piece(s).
