Pottery is a wonderful thing to do. The photos I posted in this post, the pottery ones were tajen not long ago in an area where the whole region is living off creating and selling pottery, but to be able to make ends meet, they are now selling a lot of garbage too, that has nothing to do with the local tradition, it's kitsch imported from China. It's a huge shame it came to this, because it ruins everything, but I suppose this is the compromise they need to make to be able to live.

Selling your pottery or whatever you're creating is not a bad thing, but when you do that, to cover the costs of running a local shop, that otherwise would not be profitable, it tells you your potential buyers are not in the same location as your shop, so then why run a shop at all, right?

I wish you all the best and I hope you can make your dream come true.
