Come by the Mediamatic Bank to learn how Jacob makes his pots and to help with the building and growing process of these lovely objects. We will basically be smearing a wet seed-goo on the pots. It will take some patience and attention to details, but it is relaxing process. We will be using our hands, and the seed mucus is rather sticky, though not an irritant, and is pretty nice stuff to work with.
