Work collection - Introduction to Ceramics

All intro work is to be collected no sooner than x4 weeks from the original date of the appointed intro to ceramics class. This is to ensure our studio has afraid time to dry, trim, fire, glaze and refire your work. Ceramic making is an extremely lengthy process comprised of manuly more hours than the initial wheel throwing phase.

We ask that any students attending RTC workshops to contact the studio to arrange pickup of the ceramic pieces.
