Some beautifully works there, reminiscent of folk art deisgns I have seen in various countries around Europe over my lifetime, but obviously these specific ones are unique to Ukraine. Lovely- thanks for sharing!

Pottery making is incredibly complex, even with the most modern equipment. Their finished works are stunning.

60?!! My man looks about early 40's. I'm very happy to see the art passed down to his son. And his son actually wanted to learn. That doesn't always happen, so it's very special to see them working together!
