GLAZING PROCESS

Students must provide Tahanan teacher or staff with their choice of glaze for their works at the end of the workshop. Only one choice of glaze per piece is allowed.

FIRING PROCESS

Tahanan will not be held responsible for breakage of work, cracks that occur during firing, or below expectation glazing results. Although the utmost care will be taken when firing the work provided, there is always a chance the piece will crack or potentially explode due to issues such as errors in craftsmanship, excessive thickness, or possible kiln malfunction. 

CLAIMING OF WORKS

Tahanan will notify students if works are ready for claiming after 4 to 5 weeks.
