Beschrijving
Learn the art of pottery with a hands-on workshop in Kampala. Create custom pieces, then visit Makerere University, East Africa’s oldest university, and explore its vibrant art gallery.
Begin your workshop by learning the basics of clay preparation and hand-building. Discover foundational techniques like coiling and slab-building to create custom pieces such as mugs, plates, or decorative planters.
Next, move to the studio wheels to conquer the art of centering, opening, and pulling the walls of your own cylinders or bowls. Take time to trim excess clay, add stamped textures, and carve foot rings into the bases of your leather-hard pieces.
After your workshop, take a tour of Makerere University, known as the "Harvard of Africa." Situated on 300 acres of leafy hills in Kampala, East Africa’s oldest university blends colonial-era architecture with vibrant student life.
Explore the birthplace of contemporary East African art and view vibrant art galleries. Stroll through lush, tree-lined avenues while learning about the campus's colonial-era origins and political legacy.
