The ability to understand verbal instructions
Please bring an apron or an old shirt. Pottery can get messy, but it will wash off. A sketchbook is useful but not essential. Tools are provided but some students prefer to use their own.
A gentle reminder:
As this is a fully funded course, we do ask learners to let us know how the course will help them and to confirm that it will support their personal wellbeing. This helps us make sure that these places go to those who will benefit most.
