Have fun and get messy discovering the many possibilities that mixing and layering different coloured clay bodies can give you. In this class you will learn how to stain a white clay body using ceramic stains and oxides to create a beautiful multicoloured clay surface.
You will be able to make 2-3 different colour clay bodies to use alongside white and speckled clays to make your pieces. You will be taught how to combine the coloured clays to make 2 pieces using our plate or bowl forms.
The pieces you create can also be perfect as thoughtful gifts.

Should you make more than two pieces, you will be able to choose your two favourites to be fired.
Once your pieces are finished, you will leave them with us to be finished. We will take care of firing them and coat them in a glossy transparent glaze.

Classes Cancellation policies
Our classes are non-refundable. Booking a class is like buying a ticket for a concert or a movie. These are specific events bound to time and place and therefore not refundable.
You can rebook a class if you give us notice at least 7 days before the event. This means that you will be issued a voucher that you can use to book a future class.
If you let us know less than 7 days before the class starts, you will not be able to rebook the class. We are not able to make exceptions.
If we allowed for last minute cancellations we would have to significantly increase our prices to account for the risk, thus making our classes inaccessible to a lot of people. While we have waiting lists for our classes, it is very difficult to find replacements less than a week before the event (believe us, we've tried!).
Yes. You are welcome to transfer it to a friend if you can't make it. The policies above would still apply.
Our studio is for adults (for people of age 18 or above).
