The business of life: how the social contract helped a large Belgorod to open a pottery workshop

The entrepreneur has three children: 19-year-old Gleb, 13-year-old Kira and 8-year-old Ilya. Four years ago, her daughter saw a video on the Internet and told her mother that she wanted to master the pottery business. Then there was nothing like this in Alekseevka, and Christina went with Kira to a master class in Voronezh. At that time, she did not imagine that this passion would change her life.

Unexpected opportunities

Over time, pottery became Christina's favorite hobby. However, she did not learn it professionally because it took time and money. This spring, the department for the development of entrepreneurship, where Christina worked, fell under the reduction, and the mother of many children lost her job. At first, the news shocked the master, but after a while she realized that dismissal could be an opportunity to start her own business.

She was advised to use the subsidy in the Alekseevsk Personnel Center. So the entrepreneur received 250 thousand rubles. On them, she bought a muffle oven for firing, a professional pottery circle of Russian production, clay and various trifles like a clay collector.

The studio opened in July and became a favorite place for Alexeyev. Married couples, grandmothers with grandchildren and mothers with children come to model. Everyone is usually creative.

With care for everyone

Master classes are held in the studio almost every day. Christina helps guests create their own products, and then takes the creations to burn them in the muffle oven at home.

For two weeks after the master class, she takes care of each product: when they dry, they should be closed in a certain way, open, remove cracks if they appear.

Christina plans to buy another pottery wheel to make it easier to work with couples, rent a room more spacious to spend birthdays. More in detail - in the material "BelPress".

We will remind, Belgorodka opened a studio of ceramics and glow-making on social contract.
