ABUJA Patrick Roy Avalanche Jersey , July 7 (Xinhua) -- For Joseph Gajere, a Nigerian
ceramist for more than two decades, a trip to China has redefined the craft from
being a "walk of life" to a "way of life."
Gajere was one of 50 potters selected from different developing countries to learn ceramic designs and methods in China last year.
"The opportunity has inspired me greatly, and I see a brighter Matt

his Ushafa Pottery Village workshop in the suburb of Abuja, the Nigerian
capital.
During the trip which lasted about six weeks and took him and other trainees to several cities in China, they learned how to do various ceramic works using
various machines.
"China is at the peak in terms of ceramic works; Africa has a lot to learn from
China Nail

Following the capacity building he received in China, he sees the potential of transforming creations from simple clay materials to internationally
acceptable ceramic works.
While in China, he made a number of ceramic designs and a collection of Chinese porcelains which have been displayed at various international
exhibitions since he returned late 2016.
Some of Gajere's works were on display at a recently held art exhibition at the China Cultural Center in Abuja.
His works, particularly the Chinese porcelain and ceramic designs J.T.

which included top government officials and diplomats.
"The Chinese have influenced my work greatly. They have given me hope that we (Africans) need to wake up to see how we can improve our pottery business," he
said.
The ceramist told Xinhua his greatest joy is the ability to teach and show his colleagues most of the methods he was taught in China.
He currently heads the Ushafa Pottery Village which is a unit under the aegis of Arts & CultureSocial Development Secretariat in Abuja.
At the pottery village, many widows and young women are taught to make clay works to earn a living. They learn the craft, using either machines or manual
ways to design local pots.
Every year Carl

the pottery village.
"So, this gives me assurance that what I've learned in China will go a long way as I pass it onto every new generation of potters who come under my
tutelage," he added.

FLANKER Michael Hooper has replaced Stephen Moore as captain of the Wallabies after the veteran hooker elected to step down ahead of his retirement from
international rugby at the end of the season.
Hooper would lead the rebuilding team into back-to-back tests against the All Blacks when the southern hemisphere’s Rugby Championship kicks off later this
month and then onto the 2019 World Cup in Japan, his coach Michael Cheika said.
The abrasive back rower has long been groomed to step up to the role Sven
Andrighetto Womens Jersey , having led the side throughout the 2014 season
when Moore was injured and twice during the recent June internationals when the
hooker was benched.
In 2014, as a raw 22-year-old, he became the youngest Wallabies captain after Ken Catchpole and guided the team to a whitewash victory over France in his
first series in charge.
Now 25, Hooper has 68 tests to his credit and played a key role in Australia’s run to the 2015 World Cup final against New Zealand when he and
fellow openside flanker David Pocock teamed up in a powerful back-row
combination.
“It’s a huge honor to step into this role Tyson
Barrie Womens Jersey ,” Hooper said in Sydney yesterday. “I’ve learnt a
lot from Stephen... Having him for the next four months is so critical for the
team and so helpful for me.
“I’m so excited about learning and getting better in this role, there’s a lot of good times ahead.”
Hooper will lead the Wallabies during a tough period for Australian rugby and faces a baptism of fire against an world champion All Blacks side smarting from
being held to a draw in their recent series against the British and Irish Lions.
The teams meet in Sydney on August 19, with the 2nd match of their Bledisloe Cup series in Dunedin a week later.
Australia’s provincial teams were unable to win a single match against New Zealand opponents during the Super Rugby season, while the Wallabies drew
scathing criticism for their performances during the June internationals.
After overcoming Fiji Semyon
Varlamov Womens Jersey , they lost at home to Scotland and suffered a huge
scare against lowly Italy.
Hooper’s fitness to captain the Wallabies will also be questioned in some quarters, with former skipper Pocock set to return to the national setup next
year after taking a year-long sabbatical.
