As Promised

Pictures!!
Last weekend we went on a day trip to Pomaire, a small town known for its hand made pottery. We got to see the whole pottery-making process, and we later had the opportunity to use the pottery wheel. The potter who did the demonstration made it look all look so easy...


We began with a delicious breakfast. Later, we walked to the Potter's house.


The earth ditch where the clay comes from.


Potter puts clay in the earth-pounding-clay-making machine.


Kneading the clay.

Pot!!


And then we all got a turn to make a pot. With the help of the professional potter, we made some pretty mediocre -as opposed to terrible- pieces.
