SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Please note that for the throwing workshops, pots cannot be completed in one session. Should you wish to keep unfinished pots or require my assistance in finishing them at an additional cost, then this could be arranged. Alternatively students are welcome to return and finish/glaze their pots during any one of the courses listed or at a time suitable. Turning time will depend on the amount of work kept for finishing and the glazing session should last for no more than 2 hours to half a day. Bisque fired work can be collected at a later date or posted at an additional expense.
