Be advised that Cstar Design monthly themes will range in different prices and during each of those sessions, you will create an item that will be taken away, fired by CStar Designs and returned to The Dart Centre for collection.
Lastly, due to the nature of kiln firing and its sometimes unpredictable effects, there is a small chance that pieces may move, slip and even crack during the process. This is very rare, but it’s worth knowing that we cannot guarantee how your piece will look after firing.
