Garden oyas (pronounced “oy-yahs”) are unglazed, porous clay pots used as a traditional irrigation method. They work by being buried in the soil near plants, with only the neck exposed above ground. You fill the oya with water, and over time, moisture slowly seeps out through the walls of the pot as the surrounding soil dries out. This delivers water directly to the roots where it’s needed most, minimizing evaporation and water waste.
Our special projects classes are intended to complement and add to your throwing skill set by focusing on a single advanced technique. To get the most out of this class we ask that you feel comfortable centering and pulling up cylinders before enrolling.
