Siem Reap Khmer Ceramics





I arrive in Siem Reap and meet Serge and his family. Very disappointed with his Ceramic Revival Centre - not much revival indeed. Small, dirty, ugly pottery. Oh dear. The 2 months here is a bit of a nightmare but luckily I find a nice room near to the place so I can escape to air con. Serge is very difficult to train .. in fact I dont train him but provide a plan and try to get his input. Siem Reap is also not a nice town - huge ugly hotels everywhere - not my thing at all. But it gives me an insight into the state of the handicrafts in Cambodia
