The beauty of making your own plates is you are not held by conventional form or finish, two gorgeous examples from our clay courses #plates #dinnerservice #defyordinary #defyconvention #pottery #glazes #claycourse #potterylessons #potteryclasses #potterylove #Firefly
Today marks an opening up of covid regulations, choices can be made. At Firefly the team feel more comfortable wearing their masks and for you to also do so when around them, so please continue to respect that. We are happy for you to remove your masks once seated in the studio space. This practice has thus far provided a relaxed, infection free environment for us all. Covid isolation within a small working team like ours would cause short term business closure, something we need your continued support to avoid. Sending you thanks 🌈 sprinkles and ☀️with the help of this lovely pot! #covidupdate #maskon #supportsmallbusiness #rainbow #pottery #sunnymonday
