So I'm just visiting Mexico City for the week, and I went to a work shop. I'm a complete beginner and I don't really speak any Spanish. That was fine, they taught me pottery from scratch and spoke good English.
I used the potters wheel for the first time (fun! ) and made a bowl. I really liked my teacher Raquel, she was very patient and helpful. It's a lovely building (a bit hard to find, it's next to the 'le macron' shop, and it has a beautiful huge wooden door. See the picture). Things to know before you go;
- it takes quite a while to get things back from the kiln, so check on that before you go.
- you will probably get clay on yourself so wear clothes you can get messy
Overall great for groups, couples it singles. They do one off sessions or courses. I think this is well worth it - check out the pictures of my bowls!
