Description
Hallo,
my name is Anngret. After 13 years travelling around as a pottery craftsman, babysitting and studying design in England I went back to my home town. I live together with my family in a huge house at the border of the forest and the little village Wildenau. The house is surrounded by a big garden. We are four people and four generations under one roof, living in seperate housholds; there is my grandmother (85), my mother (61), my son (14) and me (39) and two cats. My son and I are living in one flat.
I m running a pottery atelier in the house, where you can join me if you like.

Help
We start the day at 9 o clock with preparing breakfast for me and my grandmother. We are cooking lunch for all members of the family. You are free to prepare lunch for us at several days of the week. We use to eat altogether. If you have special food wishes let me know.
I have always lots of ongoing building projects for my home, where I need help. Depending on your skills and preferences you will do different work around the house, manage simple tasks, produce hand made soap. During the warm seasons we also need help with the general maintenance of the garden.
As an exchange for helping around the house I can introduce you into my work as a potter. There you can learn a bit about my handcraft produce some small objects for yourself and have a try on the pottery wheel.

- a very old and facinating, giant conifer (30 min.)
- several stone quarries (30 - 60 min.)
