Pottery workshop

We recently took Island Clayworks on the road to Tahsis, a small community north west of Gold River. Captain Meares school has only 28 kids and we did 3 workshops with the school and 2 workshops with the community over two days.

This little school has their own pottery wheel and a kiln! I was so happy to see such engaged, polite kids and the residents were happy to have something new to learn.

Neil did some training on kiln loading and firing and we will go back soon to do a glazing workshop with them.

Tahsis is a cool place, it has its history and time has been a little unkind to some of the houses.

Yet, renovations are happening, new business opportunities are to be had and there is a charm to this beautiful spot right in the Tahsis inlet, where the ocean is literally at your front door.

Tahsis is home to the Mowachaht Muchalaht First Nation.
