Could you please spell out the name of the town and where the shop is? I am moving to San Sebastian in a year. I am hoping that you go back to Spain at least for some period of time but knowing of other places such as this would be nice. Thank you.

Hey Simon! I've wondered for quite a while...I am Colombian-American...and when I try to explain to my family and what not, what I do...there are some 'ceramic' terms that Im not sure how to say in Spanish....Can you help? how do you say, potter's wheel? glaze? slip?

I see you're a busy man, but I do have a quick question if you have a chance to answer it. Why are potters, like this one featured, in decline? Is it because they cannot compete with cheaper imports, or is handmade pottery being replaced by cheap, mass produced products sold in large retail stores? Is there an entirely different reason? I'm quite curious as I'm planning to have a go at ceramics when I finish my home, (I've become a bit bored with only woodworking and desire another medium)

hi - I was refering to here in Spain.Ceramics will always have am appreciation from people but they are not used to paying money for them...as an object to use ceramic has much competition these days.Here ,as an art form it has little recognition except in the way out modern sculptural pieces.i could write more.!..SL
