What Can I Make?

You’ll receive 5kg of white stoneware clay for the course, ideal for cups, bowls, small vases, and other functional pieces. Additional 10kg bags of clay are available in-studio for $30.

All students have access to a curated range of underglazes and both clear and coloured glazes. Finished pieces will be kiln-fired and ready for collection 4 weeks after the course ends.
