Olla Making Workshop

Join us this Saturday for a make-your-own Olla workshop! An Olla is an ancient method of irrigation that allows a clay pot filled with water to slowly seep water out to supply moisture to plants. You’ll get to make a small Olla using the coil method of construction under the direction of Chris Tholl of “Red Wall Studio”. Our pots will dry and then be fired and will be ready for garden use.

When: Saturday, June 9th, 10:00am-12:00pm
Where: East Lake Community Garden, 56 2nd Ave SE
Cost: $10-$20 sliding scale, free to observe and learn
RSVP to eastlakecommunitygarden@gmail.com or call Carling at (301) 518-7103

Looking forward to seeing you!
