Online Ceramics Class Materials
IS183 will provide a sleeve of clay (please see on the right and add to your cart) to be picked up by arrangement from IS183's ramp. The instructor has provided a list of basic hand building tools (listed below) which can be purchased from Sheffield Pottery. If you have previously borrowed a clay tool kit from IS183, that may be kept for continued use this session.
