Gabane Pottery will on Sunday host  Sip and Mould event.

Simply titled “Sip and Mould,” the four hour event is targeted at adults who will be sipping beverages while learning the basics of moulding.

Event organiser, Chongo Kabwe said they would start with giving patrons a tour of their production process which involves collecting clay, designing what they would like  to mould, paint and bake it. 

She said they would demonstrate how to use the potters’ wheels, and allow patrons to make their own products. 

The sip and mould idea started after the COVID-19 pandemic when Kabwe realised that her hospitality management qualification was not benefiting her in any way.

She said she turned to pottery after realising that she would remain unemployed if she only relied on her qualifications, and that she knew pottery from an early age.   

Held under the theme: Embrace the unexpected, sip and mould would not only benefit the organiser, but it would also transfer skills to attendents transfer ceremony.

Kabwe said that customers who had graced the session were coming back in large numbers to learn more and even came with their families or friends. 

Previously previously called Pelegano Village Industries, Gabane Pottery was eestablished in 1982 and caters for tailor made events for kids, corporates, team building exercises as well as individuals and couples.

Tickets for the Sip and Mould event are sold at P350, inclusive of drinks and will start from 12noon until 4pm. Ends
