The structure of practicing the techniques learned for three consecutive days helps the students to develop a proficient use of skills they are learning.

Courses include all non-toxic materials, tools, and firing. Students will create objects the first two days and on the final day students will finish their work with bright colourful slips. Staff will then bisque fire, clear glaze and glaze fire the finished work. Mid morning snack will be provided. Work will be available for pick up approximately 2-3 weeks later.
