Yi Xing Pottery

Today we got to visit Yi Xing.  This region of China is famous for its type of tea pot.  The potters in this area are known for their skill and talent.  

We met with this lovely woman who made us tea in her shop.  It turns out she is a master potter with her own students.  She has received many honors and awards from the Chinese government.  Her pottery was so masterful and impressive.  We were able to watch one of her students work on a pot.  He has been her student for 2 years.
