We use stoneware clay and custom in-house glazes. Items are food and dishwasher safe when glazed properly.

Week 3: Learn how to throw a closed form or a ‘yoyo jar’.
Week 4: Trim your jars thrown in the week prior using a suction technique and experiment with using decorative slip (coloured clay) to finish your pieces.
