Their own wheel-thrown bowl, professionally glazed. Wheel-thrown pottery is ready in 6 weeks, as it needs longer to dry and two kiln firings, sometimes longer in school and seasonal holidays. We’ll email you when it’s ready – then just pop in any time during our opening hours within 2 weeks of that email. No appointment needed. Painted pottery is collection only, so we can’t post it.
Aprons are provided, but clothes that can take a splash are a good idea. Tell us in advance about any additional needs so we can support the group. We lead the art, and children remain the responsibility of the adults who stay.
