The work will be repaired next time. After the work is completed, it will be dried and fired. After the work is fired, it will be glazed in the studio.

Because I am not from a professional school, I am better able to understand the problems and precautions that ordinary beginners will encounter in creation. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50381425722_fef4283eb2_c_d.jpg **Charge method:** ■ The course fee includes the use of clay, raw materials, and tools.
