Ceramica!

Yesterday when we were touring around Pueblo Blanco we stopped at a pottery place. The guy there showed us how they make it all by hand and is a twenty-five day process. After telling us how they make the pottery, he showed us on the pottery wheel. He let me try afterwards, it was really hard. He made it look so easy, I even broke some of the clay off when doing it. He showed us their brick oven kiln(horno), when the top turns white it means the clay is ready. He showed us the rest of how they polish it and everything. They use leaves to make this natural paint. Afterward we bought a clay plate and bowl. The plate has a picture of Volcan Mombacho and some fruit and the bowl has butterflies on it.
