Potting around
From Stone Fish Studio and Gallery
“Stone Fish is the working studio of Dianne Heesom-Green and Linda Tsanga. Here we create unique ceramic functional and artistic pieces. Visitors may watch us at work, or book a workshop and get in on the fun. We host team building events, special functions, and Saturday morning workshops. The gallery section displays intriguing and fine works of art by ourselves and invited local artists, some of whom enjoy international acclaim. Visit, browse, relax, enjoy. Oppie Stoep is our small coffee café where you can enjoy a mocca pot of Origin Coffee and watch village life pass by.”
On Saturday four of us had the opportunity to go for a pottery class at the Stone Fish Studio and Gallery in Paternoster.
We worked with a reddish colour clay.
When the firing and glazing are done we will get our bowls.
