Many people want to learn pottery and ceramic making. For some, it is a new craft that could be turned into a business. Among them are those who see such a business as a social enterprise whereby the proceeds could go towards worthy causes. For others, it is to enrich their lives, either as a hobby or for many seniors to help pass their time. By joining such a workshop, social networks could also be developed. Finally, there are those especially seniors who see pottery and ceramic making as a therapeutic activity such as relieving stress or arthritis problems. But such pottery and ceramic classes are not easily or conveniently available.
