Handbuilding in stoneware and earthenware at Finca el Cerrillo

Now in its fifth year, this week of potting at the splendid Finca el Cerillo in the mountains of southern Spain offers tuition by Gordon Cooke, a leading British ceramic artist.

A professional handbuilder and teacher for over thirty years, he has work in public collections in Europe, the US and Canada. His work is represented in many books on the subject.
