Please note, we encourage you to edit and be selective with your wheel throwing as this is the best way to learn! Therefore keeping items you make is not included in the price of the class. If you would like to keep anything you make during a tutorial, speak to your tutor and they will arrange for it to be fired. This will incur an additional cost dependant on the size of the work.
