Ceramic workshops can be of many kinds: Very intensive, a work holiday with accent on “holiday”, mostly relaxing with a series of cultural intersections like food – wine – food – wine –food –wine. This past workshop with Mark Hewitt had it all: a very numerous and humorous group with participants from many continents, interesting side arguments like sustainable food and the medieval writer Boccaccio, great side trips.
The core, however, couldn’t have been than the Sweet Pots!
See here what has been achieved on the throwing wheel during those two weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri1715EcSPk
By the way, Mark will be back at La Meridiana in 2015!
In the meantime, check out the programme of 2013, there are still many great clay workshops to come.

Marvelous!! Bravo to all the wonderful people at LaMeridiana who made us all feel so welcome and to the fabulous group of potters from around the world who joined Mark in the fun. And the lunches! How about another video of Lucia’s amazing food we ate for two weeks? I still miss being there and can’t wait to come back one day. Ciao to all!
