They're just mud and grass, right? Walked upon as the most basic parts of the earth, free from smelting, refining, and/or synthesizing. They can be found everywhere. Metals, glass, and plastics have replaced most of what we use today, including the few remaining items that are still made from clay however are now produced by machines instead of basic human hands.

The Leizhou Kiln, however, has kept its hand in the medium passed down from generation to generation. Their tea pots showcasing aesthetically pure craftsmanship. Everything that transforms mud into masterpieces remains intrinsic to each artisan who are happy to pass on the skill to others knowing it was passed on to them.

Guests of the China Storyteller Partnerships were invited to try their hand at the potter's wheel, and despite the dense clay which proved harder to mold they were assisted by the potters sitting opposite from them who swooped in to get the wobbling stacks back to its symmetrical spin.
