FAQ's
Q: How much does it cost?
A: All pottery in the studio is individually priced so you can pick an item based on your individual budget. The only additional charge is a £2.50 studio fee per person, which covers the paint, glaze and firing costs.
Q: How long does it take?
A: It takes as little or as long as you like. Most sessions take around an hour but it is entirely up to the individual. Following the session the pottery remains in the studio to be glazed and fired and will be ready for collection within 5 - 7 days.
Q: When and how do I pay?
A: Payment is made at the end of the session and can be by cash or debit / visa card.
Q: Once fired, is the pottery suitable for the dishwasher or microwave?
A: The pottery is earthenware and has a dinnerware safe glaze. However, as with any handmade ceramic product, I would advise against using in a microwave or dishwasher if possible as imperfections can occur in time.
