Finally
My child once made a rice bowl at a kids’ pottery experience, and I remember it took more than a month until it was fired and finished. We waited so eagerly, and when it finally arrived, my child was thrilled. They still eat rice from it even now. Handmade pottery really is special, so it’s worth trying at least once.
