I have always been interested in things. When I was a child, I enjoyed painting, but I also liked malting things out of day. I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was four. That may be why I went to art school four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery. I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay.  I’m happy working by myself and being near my home.  I don’t like mass-produced things, for they are made by machines and are all the same. I think crafts(手工艺) are very important and crafts persons(手艺人)make things cleverly with hands. They make our lives colorful. When I left school, I got some money.  I hope to become a full-time craftswoman. This workplace is small, but I wish tot: move to a larger one next year. 1.
