Pottery classes for Handbuilding: Open studio – weekly classes (booking essential)
If you just want to give clay a try, you can choose an open studio on a Saturday where you can make a pottery item. This item will need to be glazed so you can choose an oxide wash that the studio apply for you together with a clear glaze.
Alternatively, if you wish to glaze it yourself, you would need to come for a second studio about 3 weeks later to put glaze on to your piece.
