Collect your Masterpiece

Once your ceramic item is completed please take a picture before leaving it with us to glaze and fire in the kiln. Your items will usually be ready for collection after about 6 weeks - however during prolonged periods of load shedding this can be delayed.

Please call and check they are ready before coming to collect. The pictue you took of the finished article will help us to trace it if necessary.

Please don't forget to collect your masterpieces!

We will hold on to your completed, glazed and shiny items for a period of 3 months. Any items not collected by them will be removed and donated to charity, where they are gratefully received.

We like to choose different charities and share the love around. The looks on the children's faces are priceless.

Tip: Take a photo of your piece before leaving it with us to be fired. This way we know when it came in and what it looks like - really helps us to find it again when ready for collection.
