What to bring

You don’t need to bring anything. However, if there’s pictures or objects you might take inspiration from, bring them along. You might also want to bring paper and pencils to sketch out designs, though we can also provide these. Clay is available to buy at the Centre, or you can use our recycled clay to practice with.
