Corner Stone Pottery Farm

"O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand" (Isaiah 64:8).


I am really amazed at how potters mold an ordinary looking clay and turn it into something beautiful. So when I knew that learning pottery was included in my kids' field trip agenda, I got excited. The kids went to Corner Stone Pottery Farm in Balubad 1st, Silang, Cavite. It is owned by husband and wife EJ and Eva Espiritu, a ceramic engineer and an artist, respectively.

I immediately fell in love with the lush surroundings which made me feel relaxed. But because it was just a field trip, we only stayed there for a short while. Hmmm...maybe I can visit it again someday. Check out what the kids learned there:

EJ Espiritu, one of the owners, demonstrated molding using a kick wheel.
Look at how excited Gabby was while watching the process.

If the kids were amazed and impressed at how this potter
turned the clay into this bowl mold, I was too!

The pottery farm also do ceramics. A staff explains
how the ceramic mugs and decors are molded and dried.

Eva Espiritu explains to the kids how the ceramics and clay are baked in the oven.

I want to make something like this sea-inspired
hanging decor! It's so beautiful!
