Beautiful Hand Painted Pottery

In Katie's province of Pitchit there is an OTOP product of Ben Jarong pottery. OTOP stands for one tombone(village) one product. It is basically a thai initiative to teach a village a marketable skill. Ben Jarong pottery is hand painted pottery. In the old days it was used to keep spices in. It is an art form from Northern Thailand.






We visited a small craft workshop for this pottery this past weekend. Here is a picture of an artist painting one of the pots. It is amazing how fast they paint the very intricate designs.
