This olla is one of the first I've ever done. I was inspired to make these after going to a Michael Wisner workshop and getting the opportunity to learn from him. It has been burnished to get a resulting shine. Michael's pots are so amazing because his patterns are very close to perfection. I myself would like to achieve that. As of now, while I pattern my pot, I seem to lose it toward completion. So I will make more as practice until I get my patterns close to or as good as Michael's.
