I will be able to safely deliver this workshop at a 1m + distance by doing all demonstrations on my own workbench and you will carry out the workshop on your own table with your own tools and equipment. Masks, gloves and disposable aprons will be supplied if you would like them and there are hand washing facilities available in the studio with disposable paper towels.
All abilities welcome and you do not need to have prior knowledge and experience in ceramics. With keeping it to a small group, you will each get one on one support and guidance throughout the workshop.
Your pieces will be fired after the workshop and will be ready to collect from my studio at Middleport Pottery the following week. I can post them out to you at an additional cost to cover P&P
Refreshments will be provided throughout the workshop.
