NOTE: There will be a gap between your 11th and your 12th class as your pieces will need to dry and then be fired before the 12th session. This break could be up to 2-4 weeks before you prepare them and glaze them for the 2nd firing of your works. Once the works are fired again, you will be informed. You can get them picked up within 2 weeks.
