Rachel and Eric on wed 4 oct 00


The Oaxacan workshops take place in the indigenous pottery villages of
Oaxaca, Mexico. We work with master potters learning pottery methods that
have been used in the Americas since clay was first molded into a vessel. We
also meet some very interesting folks and eat great food. For more
