Characterful Ceramic Seasonal Diorama: 2nd November
Is this the right course for me?
Ceramic Collection Times
CERAMICS COLLECTIONS:
Paint & Go: Your bisque painted ceramics should be ready to collect within 6 weeks but we will contact when they are ready for collection.
Creating Art from clay: It can take approximately 3 months to get through this process as everything needs to be carefully dried to reduce risk of exploding/damage.
There is a huge amount of post event production that you don’t see to finish your ceramic Artwork which is why it can seem like a long time.
**It would be really helpful if you add our email to your contacts so that when we send out the collection email (probably towards the end of the month), you ought to receive it - sometimes they end up in spam!
We will include a notice on social media once collections dates have been arranged.
Course Highlights
Arrival Times

Ceramic Collection
All ceramic work will be ready to collect before Christmas (providing all is well with our kiln).
The Firing process: All items need to be carefully dried, fired, then decorated (with oxide or by you in a glaze session) before firing a second time and sorting ready for collection.
When your ceramics is available for collection, we will email you with a list of collection options and a short form to fill, indicating when you can collect. It is always useful if you add our email address to your contacts to help our messages to reach you as sadly they sometimes end up in spam. We will also issue a notice via social media.
Please note, firing can be a tricky process and on occasion, there can be unforeseen delays. Should this be the case we will contact you to let you know.
