Create Porcelain Leaves

Drop-in Sessions: Saturday 22 September 2012 2pm – 4pm

Enjoy discovering a range of decorative techniques with ceramicist Lorna Fraser and create a selection of leaves in porcelain. This is a sharing experience. As the leaves will need to be fired before they can be taken home everyone taking part will have a choice of leaves made by Lorna to keep, and the leaves they make on the day will be given away at another time.
