After the session Flo and Suzy will glaze and fire your piece(s) so you can keep and use them forever. They'll be ready for collection from Exale Taproom around 4-6 weeks after the workshop. Burgers from Patty & Pickle, locally brewed beer, wine and soft drinks will also be available from the bar and can be enjoyed during the workshop.
