Make

Using coiling techniques or throwing on the wheel, create your stoneware form.

Compact the surface of the pot to give a polished finish using spoons or pebbles.

Burnish

Wrap your pot in a variety of colour-enhancing materials to add colour and interest ready for pit-firing.

Fire

Cooled work is cleaned and finished. Celebrate and compare your work together.

Finish

I always worry about tackling something new, but I didn’t need to last night. I loved the structure and simplicity of our first project and look forward to learning more. I also enjoyed the company and your style of working.
