A MESSAGE FROM RACHEL:
I am currently under going treatment for cancer and this means I won't be doing much teaching at present, so glass fusing will be reduced to Independent Sessions and Taster Sessions (which will be taught by one of the team when I'm unavailable). In the meantime, the team will be running Paint Your Own Pottery and Clay Sessions and Dave will continue with Pottery Wheel Sessions. Apologies for any inconvenience caused and we hope you will continue to
support our small business thought his challenging time.
Thank you. Lots of love Rachel xx
