‘Students will be expected to take their creations home weekly and return with them the following week. This ensures that items are not misplaced or damaged in the busy studio. We advise that students turn up to their first session/lesson with a plastic box which has a lid (around 40l capacity and 18cm (H) x 68cm (W) x 45cm(D). Tutors will explain how to keep your items in good condition ready for the following week.
It may also be helpful to bring towels/clothes you don’t mind getting dirty – pottery can get messy at times!’
