work with traditional African potters

We are very excited about this workshop.
We will be bringing some potter/housepainters from northern Ghana to Aba House (southern Ghana) to paint a wall in their uniquely decorative style.

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to work with the woman .

The workshop will also include visits to Vume, a pottery village made famous by Michael Cardew, and visits to contemporary pottery workshop.

Of interest to potters

We work hard to make all of our workshops unique.

This time we've outdone ourselves because we are offering a rare opportunity to interact with Ghanaian housepainters without traveling to the north.

Aba House will host a workshop July 11-24, 2010 that is of particular interest to potters, visual artists and teachers of African culture.

Women from northern Ghana will paint a wall at Aba House and workshop participants can join in.

Other activities include working with contemporary potters in Accra, traditional potters in Vume ( a village made famous by Michael Cardew) , building a paper kiln, visiting galleries and museums and more...more...more.
