customer voice
Thank you for today. I really enjoyed for my second challenge of making pottery.
I love the item which I made for the first time and I use it often.
I am waiting for my second one to come. Next time I want to make a big bowl.
One thing I was so impressed this time was warm water of the washtub due to cold winter. Thank you again.
