Hans-Marc Olsen
I usually craft very fine items, but my 57 cats usually destroy all of
them, they will jump on a table and my objects will fall and crash on

Pottery classes in Toronto, Canada by
f/256
Any suggestions?
BTW, I have investigated different colleges and only Ontario College of Art
has ceramic program (AFAIK), but classes in the program are available only
to students enrolled in a BA degree program.
Also, is it possible to find places where to fire pottery for a fee?
Thanks,
