Courses
Workshops
Bring a few fresh green leaves to press into clay, then shape the flat slab into a trinket dish, also known as a putter! You put one here or there, and you put your bits and bobs in it!
Special Courses
Before the convenience of modern mining and clay processing factories, people all over the world would harvest and process their own clay. Learn how to do this yourself, and then what to do with your hard won material!
