not yet, more like just being curious to see how things are being made. 👀 and wow, why they use black clay.?
The reason for the black color is unclear for me, but the tradition dates back to the 16th century. It's worth noting that the clay itself isn't black. The black color is achieved during the firing process in a soenga, which is a type of oven dug into the ground. After the pottery is fired, it's covered with moss and earth, which gives it its final appearance.

the more interesting thing for me is how people figured out that they can use clay to make things!

Yes, it's a story that's over 9,000 years old. That's definitely very impressive.

It's actually better to learn from a master who learned from his fathers, not necessarily faster, but you got to learn all the tricks and techniques.
doing is the best way to learn.
