If you've never been to Mashiko...

Just heard from a friend, Cath Powell, that there are two places left on this three day pottery workshop taking place in Mashiko at the end of this month . For those who don't know - Mashiko is pottery heaven (the home of mingei pottery and famed potters Shoji Hamada and Bernard Leach) and this three day workshop is a rare opportunity to use wood-fired kilns and experiment with soda and salt effects. Its open to beginners, potters and art educators of every level. Participants will stay in a traditional Japanese style inn with access to pottery making workshops and expert teachers. Not to be missed!
