Additional info
- The studio is located in Porepunkah, just off the rail trail. There is on-street parking but it is limited. We would encourage you to carpool, walk or cycle where possible. There is plenty of secure parking for bicycles.
- Although clay doesn't stain, we recommend you wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. You may wish to bring an apron if you have one.
- The studio can get cold, so please bring appropriate clothing to keep warm.
- Please note, pottery can be temperamental, and while we'll do absolutely everything to ensure you pieces make it through the entire process successfully, sometimes unavoidable accidents do happen.
