THREE HOUR COURSES
Fast and fun these highly focused three hour courses introduce you to a host of versatile products and techniques to boost your creativity and help unleash your creative spirit.
All three hour courses are individually prices but we have been asked if we can group three x three hour courses into one day, as people do have to make long journeys to us here at The House of Ceramics France in the centre of France. During 2004 we will hold a monthly triple session every second saturday of the month. Starting in March we will run through till December.
Each three hour course you complete earns you 1 award to your award scheme.
