Ceramist: An ancient Greek profession!

Last Tuesday we have visited a traditional pottery lab. A ceramist have made a demonstration about traditional pottery.










In Greece pottery was very popular. People used to keep oil, water, and seeds in jars made from clay, that has been permanently hard by heat. Today we use ceramic for decoration.





We are the ceramists!
