Gardeners’ Workshop I
Pottery is the perfect art form for all you earth-loving gardeners. What could be better than designing and making something from "clean" mud that becomes permanent and useful when fired (baked) in a kiln (oven)?
This beginner workshop will concentrate on the hand-building technique of pinch pots. Various ways to texture and decorate the clay surface will also be presented. This technique can easily be performed at home without the need for a potter’s wheel. Each participant will create one small terracotta “herb” pot that will then be fired.
