What to expect
You'll arrive at the Barcelona studio and be given an apron, then introduced to basic hand-building and ceramic techniques by your accredited instructor. The middle section involves hands-on practice: shaping clay, experimenting with form, and applying decoration or glaze to your work. Your piece goes into the kiln during the session. The final part covers glazing choices and finishing touches, with the class wrapping up once your work is fired and ready to collect or arrange for shipping if desired.
