Course overview:
  • Level 1: Learn the basics of centering clay and crafting bowls.

  • Level 3: Develop skills to create vases and asymmetric pottery designs.
  • Level 4: Advanced techniques for making containers with lids.

Pick-up Reminder:
Please remember to pick up your creations within 4 months after the course. Any unclaimed pieces after this period will be donated to charity.
Please note: Ceramics can be such a fun and rewarding art form, but unfortunately, not every piece survives the kiln. Sometimes, they may break due to factors like excess moisture or unexpected explosions during firing, despite our best efforts to prevent issues during the finishing process. While we always do our utmost to ensure a successful outcome, we’re unable to offer refunds for pieces that crack naturally. However, if we determine the damage occurred due to a kiln or technician error, we’ll be happy to assist accordingly.
