Under the guidance of your talented teacher, you'll learn some nifty clay hand building skills as you make either a set of two tea cups or one larger mug. You'll then use the second session to glaze your pieces, creating your own distinctive ceramics that you can treasure for years to come.
Perfect for beginners, all necessary materials and tools will be provided.
