| The Master at work |
We started our day with a lovely buffet breakfast - we are warming up to the Southern India food - which tends to be on the spicier side. We headed out the door of our little restaurant and there was our 75-year-old pottery master waiting for us to throw some clay pots (not literally). We didn't really have a choice; he had decided this is what we were going to do!

So, he got his big bag of clay (or perhaps cow dung...because that is what it smelled like) and threw it on the wheel. He grabbed Hollie's hands and got her up to her elbows in the special clay he had made. The first dish she threw kind of fell apart and he looked a little disappointed.
The second attempt was a pretty little vase that he helped her create - it was very sweet the way her held her hands to help her shape the vase. The only problem after she was done was what to do with the sticky clay that she seemed to be covered in head to toe! He solved that with his bucket full of water that was filled with all the stuff they warn you about...

That is actually pretty good. Here is my try at making a small bowl, ended up as an ashtray as I dented one end.
