DIE Oos-Kapenaar, Mark Dodd (53), woon en boer al die afgelope 29 jaar met beeste in die Elandsriviervallei. Die kudde vleisbeeste was aanvanklik geneties goed vir die gebied aangepas. <\/p>\n

Maar, net soos vele ander boere in di\u00e9 drooggeteisterde deel van die land het die droogte ook sy boerdery geweldig geknou en moes hy as gevolg daarvan meer as 75 persent van sy kudde ver-koop. <\/p>\n

\u201cOm die beeste te voer het net nie meer finansi\u00eble sin gemaak nie en die diere was besig om die veld oor te bewei,\u201d verduidelik Mark. <\/p>\n

\u201cDit was regtig \u2019n moeilike en goeddeurdagte besluit om die kudde te ver-koop, maar in die groter prentjie was dit die regte besluit. Oorbeweiding rig geweldige groot skade in \u2019n ekosisteem aan en dit sou jare neem om die skade as gevolg daarvan te herstel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maar \u2019n boer maak \u2019n plan en nogal een wat so in sy kraal pas!<\/p>\n

\u201cIn November 2019, kort na ons, ek en my vrou Llise, die beeste verkoop het, het my ma, Maria, terloops genoem dat dit vir haar lekker sou wees as iemand haar pottebakkery voortsit. Sy het vir baie jare pottebakkersklasse by die Teg-niese Kollege op Kariega aangebied en ook daarna, tot en met haar aftrede, by die Woodridge College.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSy het haar eie ateljee op hul plaas maar het ook soveel ander stokperdjies soos skilder, weef- en viltwerk buiten die pottebakkery wat sy net soveel geniet om te doen. Haar hande staan eenvoudig vir niks verkeerd nie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo het sy die saadjie by my geplant en met die boerdery wat op wankelrige bene staan het ek daaraan begin dink om self pottebakker-lesse te neem wat ek mettertyd sou kon inspan om \u2019n besigheid te ontwikkel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNa my eerste les was my ma darem heel tevrede met my en volgens haar het ek darem meer as genoegsame aanvoeling vir die klei en die wiel gehad; \u2019n pluimpie wat bevestig het dat ek moontlik op die regte pad kon wees!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDie saam \u201cpottery\u201d het my ma ook sommer weer aangespoor om haar stokperdjie met nuwe ywer aan te pak!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wat Mark deesdae uitsonder van ander pottebakkers is dat hy sy eie klei kan uitgrawe en verwerk. <\/p>\n

\u201cEk ontgin die meeste van my klei hier op ons sowel as op die bure se plaas en ek is baie tevrede met die gehalte daarvan. Dit bak ook uitstekend. Llise is natuurlik self ook al vir meer as 20 jaar \u2019n kunstenaar en skilder vanuit haar ateljee hier op die plaas.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHaar ateljee is in \u2019n stoor naby aan die huis en tydens lockdown<\/span> in 2020, het ons twee met die hulp van my ouers nog \u2019n deel van die stoor in \u2019n aparte ateljee vir myself omskep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNou is daar genoeg spasie sodat ons skilder- en pottebakkery-slypskole hier begin aanbied het. Alhoewel ek soms my ma se elektriese oond (kiln) gebruik, vuur ek ook gereeld my houtkiln wat ek self gebou het. As my volgende eksperiment werk (ek het my kiln se dakkie met leiklip van die plaas gebou omdat die firebricks<\/span> so duur is), sal ek my finale oond bou.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark hou ook daarvan om met die meng van glasure te eksperimenteer. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy doelwit is om iets mooi te maak vir elke dag se gebruik en daarom hou ek daarvan om met subtiele vormwerk en unieke glasure karakter aan my werk te gee,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n

Die Dodd-egpaar het twee dogters, Lana en Carla en \u2019n skoonseun, Matthew Stafford, wat met Lana getroud is.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs \u2019n stokperdjie ry ek en Llise bergfiets wat ons ook sommer fiks hou, soek en identifiseer graag vo\u00ebls en behoort ook aan \u2019n wynwaarderingsklub. Die boerdery is darem ook nie heeltemal tot niet nie en ons het ook nog \u2019n klein bye-boerdery wat ons terde\u00eb geniet.\u201d<\/p>\n
