East Knoll Pottery

> Heritage Village Demonstrations

For the Heritage Section of your Fair or Event... inform and entertain your visitors with a Pottery Demonstration.  Everyone will enjoy seeing, learning and participating in this tradition early trade. "What is clay?" "Where do you get clay?" "How is it fired?" "What are glazes?"
	"I have never seen anyone make a pot that small, ...It's truely amazing!" "How do you make them so small?" "I will show you!"
	Children and adults enjoy the miniature pottery!

	Encourage the public to try a little     pottery.      Large groups of children participate     in marble and tile making.

Using "Leg-tricity"!	My compact tent includes everything I need to put on an Authentic Early American Pottery demonstration. Tent size is 9'x9' and tiedowns can overlap other tent areas if need be. There is plenty of space inside for folks to come in and get a closer view. Tent sides can be pulled down or folded over to increase public viewing on nice days and and overhang added for inclement weather participation. I need no electricity for my equipment. All tools and props are authentic early pieces.

And yes, I can make larger pots on this wheel!
