WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP SUITABLE FOR?
Adults and children above 8 are welcome to attend with a paying adult. This workshop is perfect for beginners and more advanced students, those who have an artistic flair, and those who believe they do not have any creativity, everyone is welcome. My classes are small and I only teach a maximum of 5 students at a time. My workshops are filled with learning new and exciting techniques, they are also relaxed, welcoming and friendly. I aim to help you grow your confidence and for you to walk away with a feeling of achievement.

You are welcome to collect your work in three to four weeks after a bisque and glaze fire has been done. Postage can be arranged at a fee.
If you have any questions about this workshop please do get in touch and I will be happy to assist you.

Love
Marika
