In preparation for our trip to Michigan, ceramic artist, traveler and teacher Melissa Porter came to share her experiences of doing pit firings in Mozambique. She helped to revive a lost local art there by searching for sources of raw clay, digging it out, experimenting with clay bodies, and working with locals to establish a small pottery industry to serve the community. So inspiring!
