The local pottery factory

Tati is absolutely fascinated with it. We now have a huge bag of clay outside the door for her to work on projects at home as well.

This gentleman is a deaf man who makes pottery of all kinds. This is where the girls are now taking pottery lessons.

young kids using a large seed from a fruit here to rub the pottery to smooth it out. It's quite tedious.

They burn all night, remove the coals, fill it up and then leave it 24 hours. The next morning, they're done.


It's amazing how they pile so much in the oven at once. You can see in the back how they piled it. They've already removed a ton.
