Saturdays (booking advisable)

We are open every Saturday with our open studio for both adults and children, bookable by the hour to make something with clay.  During these sessions, we recommend that you make and glaze the piece with our fantastic selection of underglazes during the same session.   All pieces are then clear glazed to give them a shiny appearance and fired in the kiln.  Pieces will normally be ready for you to collect 2 weeks after the workshop.
