What should I bring?
Everyone gets the best possible teaching experience and the chance to explore their own ideas, so feel free to come along with sketch books, magazine cuttings, pinterest boards etc. to help focus your ideas from the start.
What should I wear?
Please wear old clothes that can get a bit messy, clay washes out so don’t worry too much. We will provide you with an apron and gloves if needed. Remove any jewellery on your hands and wrists and if possible have short nails and have your hair tied back.
