Learning Modules
“Open atelier”
All levels combined, we work there according to our desires, throwing or hand building technique, we glaze our pots. I take turns taking care of everyone. I do not propose this course to start with the technique of throwing because my attention would be too monopolized by the beginner on the wheel, the others participants would be a little abandoned.
