While every effort is made to ensure a safe environment, we will be working with glass, which can have sharp edges. Small cuts are occasionally possible.
After the Workshop:
Once completed, your pieces will be kiln-fired for approximately 16 hours. They will then need to cool gradually and will be ready for collection approximately one week after the workshop.
The workshop takes place at May I Design studio, inside Kingfisher Gallery and Studios. Please note my studio is up a flight of stairs on the first floor.
