Info
This project enables creative volunteers to become crafts people and get involved in the production of basic ceramic works, from start to finish.
Previous volunteers have come from all walks of life and have included gap year students, career breakers and mature travellers. Your working day will start at around 9am and usually finishes at around 1pm, a convenient time to head home to your host family for lunch.
Your placement will be broken down into phases and you will spend time working on each stage of the production of ceramics. Firstly you will learn and assist in making moulds, before mixing clay and casting various ceramic items. Following this you will be able to hand paint your own designs onto your creations, taking inspiration from your experiences in Mexico and the work of the artisans around you. Finally you will learn how to glaze your product, before it is fired in the kiln; the final stage in the production of ceramics.
Completing these phases usually takes one month; however, this project is available for two weeks if you don't have time to join us for a month or more. This project has been selected by our local colleagues as being suitable for short term volunteering for both the host community and the volunteer. Although you will gain a valuable cultural insight and work intensely within the local community please be aware that you may not be able to accomplish as much as someone volunteering for a longer period.
