Shaping and being shaped! Creative, relaxed days in good fellowship
What to expect
If you like to be creative and would like to dive deeper into pottery and throwing on the wheel, then these days offer a great opportunity!
Sarah Murray, a pottery teacher and friend from America, is visiting us in Lavin with her family. We met Sarah last summer as a passionate potter who passes on her knowledge and skills with infectious joy and enthusiasm.
We will be doing Pottery in the mornings and in the afternoons and there are 3 electric pottery wheels available. Sarah will give an introduction to the pottery wheel, as well as to other techniques, and then, together with Eva, will support the maximum of 6 participants with their projects.
Should you need a break at some point and would like to spend some time outside and explore the area, you will be able to do so at any time.
In addition to doing pottery and being creative during the day, we meet after dinner together for a devotional and discussion/sharing time. We also want to “center” ourselves and direct our focus on the Creator of all things. We want to discover the exciting parallels between this fascinating craft and our lives.
The week is particularly suitable for TUNE INN guests who want to take a creative break. You can easily stay a few days either before or after. In order to be able to take the finished fired pieces home with you straight away, you would probably have to stay over the weekend. Otherwise, the pottery can be picked up at a later date or sent to you.
Accommodation
Since the pottery days are also a creative offer for TUNE INN guests, all participants will also be accommodated at the Plan Sura in double rooms.
