Like mud, clay and our underglazes wash easily out of clothing but we advise wearing something comfortable that you don't mind getting mucky. Also, feel free to bring an apron.Will I get to use underglazes on my piece?Yes you will get to add colour to your dish to make it uniquely yours and stand out from the crowd!Do you sell food and drink or can I bring my own?We sell cold drinks which are available to purchase but do not allow you to consume your own food and drink on our premises - with the exception of alcoholic drinks on our Sip and Paint and event nights.What should I be aware of?Due to the nature of clay, problems can arise such as cracks and pieces becoming detached during the making, drying and firing process. Instruction is given on how to minimise issues.
