4pm Mary will demonstrate some slip decoration and you can have a go
5.30pm finish.
Times may vary depending on how it goes. It is physically hard work to throw all day so that's why I break it down into two hour sessions throughout the day. Classes are restricted to 6 students per class so everyone gets individual help and tuition. The classes are suitable for beginners and those who wish to improve their skills. I am afraid my workshop is upstairs so there is no disabled access.
If you wish to keep your best pots then there is an additional charge of £5 per pot for materials and firing, this is payable on the day so you can decide then, otherwise all clay is recycled so there is no waste.
