LUANG PRABANG, Laos: Dedicated to spreading the knowledge of a dying village craft, Nid opens up pottery shop P70. She balances the responsibility of continuing the pottery tradition from Grandma Khamseng, the matriarch and last potter in Phuluang Village, and the resilience of seeking youthful perspectives from students like Noy to upkeep the craft.

Molded like a family, these three generations of women share their struggles and accomplishments that are shaped over pottery.
