Spring Holiday ceramics
Ceramic sculptures made in our holiday workshops will be ready 3-4 weeks after the holidays. Work needs to dry before bisque firing, then we glaze them before firing a second time. We will send an email letting you know when they are ready to collect. Check your inbox as well as spam/junk box just in case.
