Session 2: Glazing your pieces
After your Pottery Session, your pieces must be completely bone-dry before the first firing, which usually takes one to two weeks. After bisque firing your piece will be ready to decorate.
To complete your pieces, book an additional Glazing/Decorating Session, where you'll learn how to apply glazes and add decorative finishes, you will be able to choose your own glaze. After glazing, your pieces will go through a second and final firing, making them ready to take home!
