Join us for a fun filled workshop for beginners with The Touring Potter: We are a unique service offering an experience with something handmade to keep afterwards. We will guide and encourage you to create your pottery masterpieces. No experience needed! We then take your pieces back to our workshop to glaze and fire them in the kiln. We will then arrange a drop off time for your pieces with Forest Arts Centre. Class includes a free glass of wine or soft drink.
Over 18's only.
