It’s not quite as full as it should be but it’ll be okay

06.01.2022 Wanting to try your hand at the ancient craft of pottery? This ageless art started way back in Mesopotamia millennia ago when ancient civilizations fashioned bowls to eat from the clay deposits in the earth around them. Little did they know what they were creating! When they finished eating...... they threw their bowls on the fire. The art of ceramics was born in the dying embers of the flames. With the cooling of the fire and ash..... it changed the earths chemical composition to earthenware clay. One we use and can appreciate at our dining table everyday. Sit and smell the aroma of your coffee from the most satisfying treasure of all a coffee mug lovingly made with your hands . If you would like to know more or attend my January classes message me on [email protected]. Deidre See more
