The price of the workshop includes all material and firing fees. All classes are taught in English. This course is an intermediate workshop — a basic understanding of working on the wheel is expected (fundamentals of centering, pulling walls etc.) but you don’t need to be a pro to join :)
Aprons are available, but please wear suitable clothing and footwear that you don’t mind getting covered in clay.
