"Husk at påregne et par dage til brænding."
This comes from a short description of an art workshop. The " brænding" part has me totally baffled as is seems at odds with the rest of the paragraph, which speaks positively of participation in an art course.

Don't forget to allow a few days for branding.

Remember to allow for a couple of days for firing
If it's an art workshop, maybe it involves working with clay that needs firing, which might have to be repeated, thus spread over a couple of days?

: Hi Gitte. After looking at this again just now, I think that your suggestion is what is actually meant here - presuming this has to do with working with clay.== I presumed it was a graphic arts design seminar, not a ceramics course (as you did).

Well, yes, I did wonder how the 'branding' got into the equation. :) But the asker chose your suggestion, so who knows?
My ignorance, I'm sure, I only know of 'branding' as in 'making use of a brand name'...

Firing
If this has to do with art, then it is probably ceramics and referring to firing in a kiln.
Example sentence:
The clay pot was fired overnight in the kiln
Something went wrong...
