Please bring a small towel to clean down your space. In this class you need to finish working 5 – 10 minutes prior to the end time and start cleaning your area.
Clay is an organic product and doesn’t always react the way you might expect. Through the making, firing, glazing, more firing, things can change shape, explode, stick to shelves etc.
We do our best to avoid these things happening but sometimes they do.
