Collection of Your Pieces

Your pottery pieces will need to go through the drying and firing process before they are ready for collection.

All pieces will be ready for pick-up approximately 10 working days after the date of the workshop.

Please note that the firing process takes time, so pieces cannot be collected immediately after the session.
