Do I need to bring anything?

Will I get covered in clay?
Yes, working with the pottery wheel can be a bit messy, so be prepared to get your hands dirty. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting clay on. Aprons are provided and clay just washes straight out so don't worry if you get some on your clothes.
