Class Details
Each student is allotted kiln space the size of about 25 mugs. Students are welcome to make larger and smaller pieces in most any shape. Taller pieces of 7-10″ are welcome. Large platters are not so welcome. Really small pieces pretty much always get in. Extra pots are encouraged – I promise to work hard to get them in!
