Glazing
Throwing can be very messy so it is best to come to the classes in clothes and footwear you don’t mind getting dirty. It is best to remove watches and jewellery, long hair tied back and fingernails kept short. Glazed pottery can be collected 2 weeks after the course ends, we will contact you to arrange collection
