This man showed us how he does pottery. I was utterly impressed by his technique. Then we saw where women carve and paint all the pottery. Afterward, the class wandered around the shop to see if anyone wanted to bring home souvenirs. There was only one thing I liked: In the workshop, there was a white teapot. I told Niki I liked it, so she asked the potter in Greek, "Was everything carved and painted, or was there anything still white like this teapot?" and I was like...'Ask him if I can have that teapot!" So she did. And he explained that, not only did he not make the teapot, but it was not even clay. It was a porcelain teapot he got from a hotel so he could eventually model something after its shape. I think it was clear that I thought everything he actually made was ugly. FML.
