The Copper Town<\/h3>\n
\n\t

We caught a couple of combi buses to Santa Clara.\u00a0 This is a small town just outside P\u00e1tzcuaro that specializes in copper work.\u00a0 We chatted to an ex-teacher that worked in Melbourne for a few years\u00a0 and has now retired to Santa Clara.\u00a0 He pays $75 a month for rent and sells sugar cane juice in the square just for a chat I think.<\/p>\n

We went to a workshop and were taught the process of making a copper pot.\u00a0 Very noisy.\u00a0 See the video below of \"us\" making our copper pot.\u00a0 Takes about a week to make a pot.<\/p>\n

Only problem is we have since discovered that you shouldn't cook regularly in pure copper as you can get copper poisoning.\u00a0 We might look at getting it tin plated when we are in Denver - costs about $75 so it will be an expensive pot.<\/p>\n
