Strings of small
ceramic beads, lavender and azure in color, crackle
around customers who enter this doorway.
Amendu’s work is intricate and beautiful, depicting
stories in outlined shadows over mazes of geometric
patterns. His wife, Vilenhi, refined the firing process
that creates the intense background color. The kilns
and pottery wheels are not in sight of the public,
but he decorates and paints in the center of their
shop. Against the walls are always expensive vessels
of many sizes for sale. Vilenhi takes payments and
arranges for delivery of larger purchases.
