After that they experienced the turn table, which is a replica used thousands of years ago by Chinese, introduced by the Spaniards and then the used by the inhabitants of the island.
Also they enjoyed the kiln, a replica made by an Dominican expert, used to burn the different items. Next it was time for those you wanted to leave their permanent hand prints on the wall ( see picture) They also left their personal e-mail addresses in our visitors book so we can keep in touch. After purchasing some of the arts sold in the store it was time again to continue the city tour, everybody left with a happy face and some new knowledge about the magic world of ceramic and terra cotta.
