瑪莎露陶坊
 

In the earlier days, traditional craftsmen had few successors. The low-temperature pit-fired works produced in the past were fragile and difficult to keep intact. Meanwhile, the craftsmen had neither the energy nor the time to address the preservation of their indigenous culture as it gradually faded and was forgotten.

Modern products are mass-produced by machines, further pushing traditional crafts to the fringes. By chance, I had the opportunity to learn pottery. Since we would like to pass on the traditional culture, I took the entire family to learn pottery by both traditional and modern methods.
