Working with clay is easier with short fingernails and without rings.
All materials and firings are covered in the session fee.
Work will be dried and then fired, first to biscuit ware, then glazed and fired again. At that point it is finished and you will be advised it is ready for collection from the SMCC, or by arrangement from FRS. This process can take up to 3-4 weeks from the date of the session. Christmas decorations will be finished more quickly so as to be ready for your tree.
Completed items can be collected from South Machars Community Centre or, by arrangement direct from Frances Ross Studio in Sorbie.
We don’t post out pots made in Pop-Up Pottery sessions – they can’t be insured.
All sessions are suitable for beginners, but you are welcome to work to a more advanced level if you already have the skills.
The ceramic process can be unpredictable. We handle all work with care, but on rare occasions things crack or break under the stress of the kiln’s heat, and we cannot guarantee that all work will survive the ceramic processes or the firings fully intact.
About FAMILY SESSIONS
Children over 8 years old normally have the capability to work alone on these projects, but please use your knowledge of the child’s capabilities when booking.
Children 5-8 years old will most likely need some help from an adult. If you’re going to work with an under-8 year old, please book one place to cover you and the child. This will cover for the child’s work to be glazed and fired. The fee does not cover for you both to make work and have it glazed and fired.
All under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
The accompanying adult will have full responsibility for their child/children at all times. Therefore please stay in the room with your child, even if you’re not participating in the class.
