Thank you so much for this video. I visited a village of potters in Kutch in 2010 but did not know much about the process because it was a brief visit. This has answered so many of my questions. Thank you.
I saw the older man and knew this one would be good, but it was way better than I expected and much more informative. I thought he would be a great pot thrower, and then you introduced me to a place and method in the world that I never dreamed of. Thanks, only the volume was a little low...but well worth the time. If you could include more footage it would be so much better, as someone suggested below-showing the firing. They are so tough too, my low back wouldn't take what they do all day long!
Plastic and metal is unhealthy for humans and the earth. We should never have made plastics and we should not dig up so much metal. I would love to have some pots for storing grains, but until now, I have never seen any. It is really a big shame that potteries have closed down. I hope they open again. I wonder what they went on doing after the closure.
3 breakage out of 300: that's some going! Authentic and edifying (except the bit about the plastic of course - but do I really need to mention that!?). ATB.
recipes of many indian medicated wines of ayurved calls for using ghee accustomed pots for fermentation and sometimes placing fermenting vessel in a bigger grain storing clay pot or burying in horse stables or burying underground near hearth ... none of these would be available in even the most traditionally manufacturing ayurvedic pharmacies of today ... clay pots sometimes have activated surfaces and so new wines made is unlikely to have exact same properties that wines made even 100 years back
