In the era of high technology, mass production especially hand-made things are valuable. The modern city dweller in my opinion feels the need to practice the most ancient crafts. In my hometown, there are more and more places where adults , who are far from crafts can be engaged in weaving, pottery, making jewelry from metal, mosaic. Today, my little story about two pottery workshops in my city. This workshop “Circle” and workshop “Marumika.” Here you can make yourself a cup for tea or coffee, a real potter’s wheel, make a box, a vase or a ceramic brooch. And then after firing, paint the product with special enamels. In the workshop we deal with live material that keeps the warmth of human hands, it helps us to reveal ourselves, to show our creative abilities. This is a kind of meditation - clay, water, fire give rise to a new object - a beautiful vase or an exclusive handmade brooch
