When booking is complete you will receive an emailed receipt along with some basic details about the workshop.

You will be given a full explanation and instructions on your arrival to get you started, along with support throughout the session.

Once you have completed your tile you can decide if you would like to leave it as a standard tile or you will have the opportunity to upgrade and have it drilled, so that you can thread ribbon through it to make a hanging, framed to turn your tile into a beautiful picture for your walls, or slumped in a second firing; transforming your piece into a useful trinket dish. These are optional extras; you will be able to see examples of these items on the day should you wish to consider them.

It will be necessary to leave your finished piece with us to fuse in our Kiln in order to gently melt together all the components that you have used. You will be notified within two weeks when your item is ready to collect from the studio; alternatively, this can be posted on to you at standard postage rates should you prefer.
