Build A Clay Oven Day

Join us on our Build a Clay Oven Day, learn how to pick and mix the materials needed, join in the fun of mixing the sand and clay by ‘doing the twist,’ pick up loads of dos/don’ts and go home inspired and filled with the knowledge and skill needed to build and use your very own clay oven. Plus, everyone on the course will get a free copy of Mike’s new book ‘Building and Using Your Clay Oven,’ (due out in August).
