Course Summaries All visitors are met at the airport by the pottery vehicle. A visit to
Dedza Pottery is included in all the courses and most courses have the option
to come for 2 or 3 weeks. The 3 week course we feel is ideal as it provides
time to make pots, relax, go on safari and there are enough free days within
the course to see some of We run 4 or 5 scheduled courses each year as shown below, however many
guests are taking advantage of our “CHOOSE

dates, but if there are 2 or more guests there is no additional charge. There are 4 options available on each course:- • The Standard Course Fee includes:- airport transfers from • The Standard plus Flights

can be checked in at the airport or sent by post or airfreight
is also included in the cost of the course. The actual cost of airfreight or
postage for pots, that exceed you baggage allowance
would be extra. Please note that it is advisable that pots you take with you

fees shown below are estimates given in good faith. It is very unlikely that
we will change the prices for either the pottery courses or the safaris, and
once a course is booked and a deposit paid we guarantee the course and safari

after discussions with the airlines and will be checked before a booking is
confirmed. Once a guest has paid in full for a course and flights then we
guarantee to hold the prices to those quoted at the time of booking. Course
