At each session there will be multiple examples avalible for the students to choose from, though there will be some kind of theme each week that the examples will relate to.  This can be as simple as "pinch pots" where the items shown are all pinch pots, or it could be like a "dish" which could be from a slab, made using pinch pot methods or other methods!
