The Pottery Village

Another place we (meaning just a few of us) went to in Laos was a pottery village. This was my favorite place in Laos. At this village they make ceramics for local Laos people only. You won't see one of their pieces in a foreign country. They dig the clay right out of the ground, spin a pot with a slate over it for the wheel, and dye their hands attempting to glaze/protect the pieces. The only things you could buy were little animal figurines. I bought a turtle. Minds Open, hearts close, Bellies Full.

P.S. that big hole in the ground with the fire, yeah that's the kiln.
