10.–11. Potter's workshop

Let it be clear that with two days it won't be possible to obtain mastery to make a flowerpot or some kitchen utensil. It is needed to learn far more than two days for this. But during these days you will be able to get to know better this capricious material and we hope that this will give you a chance to be of interest on obtaining further knowledges on pottery.

The main aim of this event is that everyone who will participate in this workshop shall make two simple utensils – no matter how wobbly they will be.

Partner: Northern Yard potter Mats Oun
