What to bring & know:
Nothing to bring in terms of supplies, but please wear old clothes/ art clothes as pottery can be messy.
Clay is an organic product and doesn’t always react the way we might expect. Through the making, firing, glazing, more firing, things can change shape, explode, stick to shelves etc.
The tutors do their best to avoid these things happening but sometimes they do!
