Processing our own clay was a real eye opener to me and the wonder of watching our creations glowing red hot in our open fire pits was both an anxious and exciting moment. There were all sorts of pots and effigies and beads etc made, many of which were decorated with imprints of leaves and petals. I made time at the end to make a 3d version of Oscar the Owl as a model for a really large one that Karen Hansen and I will be carving over Dorset Art Weeks.
The feedback from all of the guests on this course has been fantastic and it was great to see so many campers .. but where did all that left over home made cake go? I have seen a few crumbs in the Tipi.....it must be all that "hyperthermalating" after the cider!
The Cloud Factory blog (see right) has a more information about 'primitive pottery' if you'd like to learn more.
how do i sign up for a primitive pottery course and when is the next one?

Hi Abi
DeleteI am afraid that we don't run this course any more - sorry. We do still run our traditional green woodworking courses though - details here: www.mallinson.co.uk.
I hope that we see you down here in the woods
best wishes
