From their website:
Each participant will have the option of making a small bowl, small vase or small plate with the help of our potter. Your piece will be painted the same day using engobes - a colored liquid clay available in limited colors.
Once dry your piece will be fired in our kiln. Finished pieces will be available for you to pick up according to the date given you on your Pottery Pick-up Card Shipping of your finished piece is available (shipping fee applies).
Our potter will first show you the steps involved in throwing a piece of clay on the wheel. Then will work with you to create your own special piece. Your piece will then be heated and dried to prepare it to be painted and during this time, you will have time to practice the wheel on your own.
