February Half Term Art Days: Folktales and Celtic Myths - February 16th/17th
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
We kindly request that you arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before the event begins. This allows us the necessary time to finalise preparations and ensure that the studio is ready for your arrival. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Why Artmaking is soooo good for you!
Great for the soul Art making, as Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”, (we know knowledge is fundamental too) it is the key to problem solving and helps boost kids' social, emotional, creative, physical, linguistic and cognitive development...... and if that wasn't enough, it's fun!!!
