Trying Slab Pottery at The Crescent Moon Cafe and Studio Pottery
The first time I tried Slab Pottery (I keep typing poetry instead of pottery, haha) was a couple of years ago in preparation for Craft Camp Antipolo. We were there for an ocular visit and decided to make some pieces so we could pick them up in a couple of weeks’ time. We each had

After the baby shower, I headed to Hip Pinoy along Katipunan extension with Mikko to check out her booth. I ended up saying hello to some of the crafters I met at Alessa‘s First Craft Soiree. Also, I couldn’t resist getting
