SATURDAY 8 NOVEMBER · 10:00 TO 16:00
A day at the studio.
Six places, a wheel each, and two of us in the room the whole time. Nothing is assumed and nothing needs bringing except clothes you do not mind losing to slip.
The day
10:00
Coffee and the safety bit
Ten minutes. Then nobody mentions it again.
10:20
The board, and what a cylinder is
Twenty minutes of sketching before anyone touches clay.
10:40
Centring
The only part that cannot be hurried. Nadia takes this.
12:00
Lunch
Soup and bread from the cafe under the next arch. Included.
13:00
Three cylinders
You will make considerably more than three.
15:00
Trimming and marking
Every piece gets your stamp so it comes back to you.
15:45
What happens next
Firing takes three weeks. We post them, or you collect.
The practical part
Price
£120 a place, covering clay, glazes, both firings and lunch
Where
Arch 42, Bermondsey, London SE1, four minutes from the station
Bring
Short nails and sleeves you can push up. Aprons are here

If November is no good, the same day runs on 6 December and 17 January. Both are open now and December usually goes first.
