Pots ~Very large pots will not dry out in a week and can be taken home unfired or left with Anna to be fired at a later date...Medium sized work should be made first and smaller pieces nearer to the firing day if you want to fire and glaze most of your work.

There are coloured slips and various glazes and colours for use with both types of clay. The first 3-4 days are for making pots and then they are biscuit fired over night.

Firing ~ The first firing usually takes place on the Wednesday afternoon/evening. Only pots that are bone dry can go into the kiln for the biscuit firing...The following day is the glazing day when the pots can be glazed and decorated before a final firing on Friday night…

Availability ~ There is only limited availability for Residential Workshops...If one is not available at the times you would like to visit... please check with Anna...It may still be possible to do the pottery by renting one of the self catering cottages and booking into the pottery for tuition on a separate basis.
