Blue and white, and everything in between 11/12/09

Yesterday Chinese history class was cancelled so that we could go to a blue and white factory today With Professor Yu.  This was the first time I took the bus here, it was not quite as fun as a taxi ride, and surely not as much fun as a bike ride, but it was fun none the less. 
We had a fun time goofing around, looking, and learning at the factory.

At the factory they make reproductions of ancient blue and white, and overglaze pots.  On the premises they have throwers, trimmers, a huge room full of painters, kilns, a showroom to sell everything, and a museum of ancient pots and shards. 
 Everyone of the people involved in the processes here are so skilled, it is amazing.
