Beautiful setting, very interesting learning about the soil and clays. Great experience. Loved making our pots and mugs in a remote part of Julian.

A wonderful time

Becky was wonderful and a joy to learn from. We enjoyed her authenticity and perspective throughout the experience. The natural raw materials and stories of how they came about as well as Becky’s inspiration overall were just delightful. Our pots turned out lovely and we really look forward to doing it again and perfect our craft overtime.

Becky was a wealth of knowledge about the local history and put on a great workshop. We had such a nice morning making our clay earthenware and chatting with her. Highly recommend!
