Absolutely. In fact, that's probably the thing I hear most often before a workshop! There's no pressure to be perfect. It's all about enjoying the process and creating something that's uniquely yours.

You'll create your own collection of handmade ceramic flowers. Everyone's flowers turn out differently, which is one of my favourite parts of teaching. Most people make between 4-10 flowers, depending on the size and style they choose.
-
Your flowers need time to dry before they're fired, glazed with a glossy clear finish, fired again, and carefully assembled onto stems. In fact, most of the work happen after the workshop is over!
They'll be ready to collect approximately 3–4 weeks after your workshop.

Like all ceramics, they can break if dropped or handled roughly. With normal care, they'll last for years and never need watering!

Yes, but I recommend displaying them in a sheltered spot or indoor planter. The floral tape will eventually deteriorate with prolonged exposure however the flowers have steel stems underneath.

Ceramic glazes are designed to last. They won't wilt, dry out or need replacing like fresh flowers.

Every flower is individually handmade, glazed and assembled by me. No two are ever exactly the same, which is part of their charm.
