What to expect from your first Posy Workshop Course

All workshops are beginner-friendly and do not require any prior knowledge of ceramics, but if you have prior experience it’s also catered to all levels too! It's fun, social, and lots of attendees come alone so don’t be scared if you don’t have a friend to bring along with you! We all sit together on a communal table and explore the world of clay!
