Pottery


At the Pottery Village, we saw the potter make variety of pots.All of different kinds.First he would hold the sides of the clay on the spinning wheel, and shape it upwards. Then, he used his thumbs to make the circular shape of the pot. Normally, the potter would the pots on fire after making them, but, since we had were leaving the next day, we directly got the pots. The reason the pots get their color is because the iron in these pots oxidizes and becomes red, which causes the pot itself to become red
