Incredible India!2008



I woke early in the morning to go for a walk,Around a corner,in the sunshine were a family of potters.Only the men do the potting in the villages.So he starts with a large lump of clay.....


then he beats it into shape with his hands and a smooth piece of wood...


the pot is placed in an old terracotta dish.this forms the round base of the vessel,

he keeps paddling away until he gets the right shape!

I was in awe.What beautiful water pots!Not a wheel in sight.
