You get 4 hours max on the street parking (chargeable) or multi story car park 5 mins away. Robyn was our teacher, what a delight, everyone was at ease immediately and she teaches so well. I really enjoyed today. Happy that having never done this before I actually created 2 items today. I look forward to collecting them once they have been glazed and kiln dried. I'd certainly recommend this class and I would attend again. Thank you. + more
