I would like to talk about a pottery work which my friend has gifted me on my 21st birthday. So this piece of art is very special to me because she gave me that as a gift for my birthday and I have never got that type of gift in my birthday. So it is a monk made up with her own pottery skill and she also painted around the pottery mug. So that is the most fascinating thing about that monk and she has painted something about outside of memory. I used to go to her home to play some games. So we used to sit in a river side which has a lot of steps with beautiful scenery. So that scene was portrayed using the paintings around the pottery mug. So that was quite special to me because it gave me a special gift conveying my childhood in my memories also. So that is why it is more special to me and that is the main reason why I like that. And she made that pottery with her own hand. Actually she learned that pottery making from a workshop which connected near our home town. But during that time I couldn’t participate in that workshop so that I couldn’t learn that. So I am having that regret now because I didn’t get the chance to learn that. I also like to make pottery and nowadays I also participate in just kind of workshops to learn more pottery. And I keep that pottery in my house always whenever I need a relaxing or refreshing mind I would take that pottery mug and would look at the paintings made by her. And now I am learning pottery making from her classes. She is a very good teacher and she has a very patience in teaching that pottery learning. So I was very happy and delighted. I was very delighted and I was over the moon when I received that gift because I never expected that I could receive that piece of art as my birthday gift.

This piece of art is very special to me because she gave it to me as a gift for my birthday, and I have never received that type of gift on my birthday. It is a mug made by her own pottery skill, and she also painted around the pottery mug. The most fascinating thing about that mug is that she painted something related to our memories. I used to go to her home to play games, and we would sit by a riverside that had a lot of steps and beautiful scenery. That scene was portrayed in the paintings around the pottery mug. It is quite special to me because it conveys my childhood memories. That is why it is more special to me, and that is the main reason why I like it. She made that pottery with her own hands. She learned pottery making from a workshop that was near our hometown. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate in that workshop, so I didn't learn that skill. I have some regret now because I didn't get the chance to learn it. I also like to make pottery, and nowadays I participate in various workshops to learn more about it.
