If you’ve always wanted to throw clay on a wheel, this workshop is for you! You will have 3 hours to master your throwing skills and choose your 3 best outcomes to be fired! I will then take your work to my garden studio where I will trim the bases for you (this has to be done when the clay has dried out to leather hard), bisque fire your pots, dip them in a glaze of your choice (2 to choose from), and finally refire your work. 
All work is fired to stoneware temperature meaning your pottery will be food safe, microwave/ dishwasher/ oven safe as well as outdoors safe for plant pots. Work will be available to be picked up in around 4 weeks (needs a lot of drying time) or can be posted to you for an additional charge.
