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 a kilo of clay to…

Local And Handmade
I love being around creative people. There’s something so inspiring about seeing handmade things.

Also, I couldn’t resist getting a few things from the…
