Master ceramicist Iasonas will be lighting things up with this pottery session in two sections. In the first session, he will help you craft your clay creations ready for overnight drying in the hand-dug pit in which he creates his kiln. The next morning, with the kiln fired up to 850-900°C, see your creations begin the firing treatment. Later that afternoon, in the second session, remove them from the oven and apply the finishing touches to a memorable SESSIONS souvenir!

Caroline Smith, born in Blackpool, Lancashire has been sketching and drawing as long as she can remember. A degree in 3D Design followed by a career in interior design has allowed her skill to develop and the interest to grow. This combined with a love for buildings and architecture with a desire to travel and discover, are the main ingredients that have formed the brand ‘Urban Sketchliner’.

Being fascinated with cityscapes and urban skylines, plus scale and proportion, feeds the urge to produce each individual piece of work. Experimenting with different mediums and techniques is on going and ensures originality.
