    Description

    I have a pottery project as a hobby in Spain in the city of Oliva and I would like to improve my personal knowledge with this wonderful art I do have approximately 20 years experience, my intention is to improve my knowledge and to have a experienced ceramist to share their knowledge.

    I will be hosting knowledgeable ceramists only.

    I do live alone and maybe while you're visiting there will be another workaway sharing the space. I grew up in Canada and living in Spain as a retiree for the last year and a half.

    Please be advised that I will be only accepting volunteers that have Pottery experience.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I do live alone and maybe while you're visiting there will be another work away sharing the space. I grew up in Canada and have been practicing Pottery for a bit over 20 years and still consider myself a student.
    My home is situated in a small village where it is mostly native Spanish valencians that live all around me you will get to know them and be part of the culture.
    We will be working side by side getting to know each other and I will be sharing all of my experiences in this field that I love so much
