Q: How did you find the Chinese craftsmen to make ceramics for you?

A: I went straight to the internet and contacted a handful of suppliers who seemed best positioned to help me. Based on their response we sent the brief and design information to a couple of suppliers.

It was then necessary to travel to China to meet with them and decide who would be the best partner in this venture.
