A theme is provided eg. pot plants, mugs, miniature modelling etc., however, everyone is welcome to adapt their piece however they wish using their creativity and the materials provided.

    Please Note: We only use natural Australian clays and non-toxic materials to create our pieces.

    All work is kiln fired so it is functional and durable for its purpose.

    Collection: Work will be ready for pick up approximately 3-4 weeks after the class (depending on weather for drying time).

    What is included: All materials, tools, apron, kiln firings and guided tuition, water and biscuits for a quick snack.
