They welcomed me to their workshop in Genethli Mitella, and when I entered I saw their ceramic creations on the shelves, the materials and the wheel in the background. You could tell that the atmosphere there was overflowing with creativity, with the smell of clay filling the space as it bustled with life and laughter from their students every day. Stephanie served me coffee in one of the distinctive, short cups she makes, and slowly Myrto and John joined us.
