What will I need for my course

You will need to bring along an apron or something to protect you clothes as clay can be messy and do not wear opened toed shoes in the studio. Also bring along a pencil to make notes and a sketchbook if you have one. The clay is costed by weighed at the end course, this includes the firing of the piece of work.
