School Holiday Ceramics
These school holidays our ceramics workshops will focus on painting a pre-made bisqueware vessel while learning the fundamentals of planning, design and drawing to assist them in creating a fun and functional piece of pottery. Their piece will then be fired with clear glaze and will be a wonderful keepsake that is a food safe plate, bowl or pencil holder ready to use in the home.
