Closing Remarks and Group Photo
You are most welcome to keep the pot(s) you make, but they will need to be picked up and fired outside of Crown Works no more than a week post the class finishing (we have limited space for giant pots!) We imagine that the majority of students will use the course as a way to learn and experiment and that most pots will be sacrificial, but that is up to you. Just as a note, the pots will be extremely heavy and hard to move so please also keep this in mind if you are attempting to take them away!
Complete Onggi Tool Set
A beautiful bespoke set of Onggi Tools are being made in Korea for Crown Works…. As soon as they have arrived we will photograph them and put the mon sale for £180. They are made in the most traditional way and are as authentic as you can buy. We are incredibly thankful for Hee Gun Kim for organising these amazing tools for us. We have 12 sets in total being shipped, so they are going to be very special and we would recommend letting us know if you wish to have a set for the workshop, they should last you a lifetime if looked after well! These can be reserved now by emailing Giulietta@crownworkspottery.com
