The clay here is local, rich and red-brown. You dig, knead and shape it into a bowl, a cup or something you can't name yet.
A local potter teaches you the basics: hand building, the wheel, glazing and firing. Mistakes are part of it, and the lopsided cup is often the one you love.
You take your piece home, or we fire it and send it to you.
The valley, the food, the place
The valley has clay and potters, and you can see both on any walk. Between sessions there are quiet paths and a lot of sun. Food is fresh, healthy and varied. The place is clean and calm, the people are patient, and the kiln day is its own small event. The food is excellent, and vegetarian options are always available.
