There is nothing like starting creative hobbies to meet people and make friends in small towns! Everyone does something to keep in shape, be creative, or socialise (primarily the latter) - from belly dancing, to horse riding and yoga, Oudtshoorn has something for everyone :)
So... I recently started taking pottery classes! The lovely rustic studio is located on the highest point of our teacher's small holding on the edge of Oudtshoorn, just off Langenhoven Road. I’m slowly getting back into things after not working with clay in almost five years! Long time. But I’m looking forward to getting my first completed pieces at class tonight – hope nothing has exploded! Hold thumbs.
Until then, I’m planning my next project: a homeware series - practical and crafty for when I eventually move into my own space. This choice has definitely been influenced by my super cool high school ceramic teacher, Wendy McLachlan, who now makes and sells amazingly creative ceramic "homeware" full time - no more teaching naughty school girls! Be sure to check out her homebakes range, available on Anthropologie!
First item on the list is... a cake stand! I'm loving # three, planning on giving it a bash - Trial and error posts to follow :)
