You probably dont care at all but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Maurice Kaysen thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Maurice Kaysen DAMN IT REALLY WORKED! I just got access to my ig account details after roughly 40 minutes by using the site. I had to pay 15 bucks but definitely worth it :) Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
That was very educational I just love the way you showed those women work ethic and how they mold the pots and cure them for sale I think the prices should be a little bit more money than that but the old lady made it look so easy how she put that pot together didn't take her no time Lord continue to bless her and strengthen her to keep doing what she's doing amen 🙏 🙌
The complexity of creating these beautiful, organic pottery from the motherland really touched my heart. These women were a team from start to finish. This is the content that truly is educational. Many thanks❤
I can't wait to own a few of those!!! Do you how much we in the USA pay for the large pots??? $500+ That's why I'm waiting for my trip to Africa....so $40 is a steal! They are handmade & worth the purchase.
Watching my people from this end of the world and i am transfixed and amazed.... proud of my ancestors...appreciate your blogs. Iam from Guyana on the Continent od South America.🤓👍
Good video showing a big part of the process of making pottery. The balls of clay in the firing were for making temper or "grog" which is added to clay to prevent cracking during firing and firing.
Storing water in these pots keeps it so cool. I was gonna say these are expensive pots. Probably her target market is her community that’s why she sells them at that price.
This is absolutely amazing. Not even a potters wheel is used. Love it. I miss Tamale. Spent several years teaching at Tamale Sec School many years ago, so I can relate to your trip and experiences, however, with all the years spent there and seeing these pots, it never occurred to me to find out how these were made, so thanks for sharing. I do go back to Tamale any time I am in Ghana to visit my adaptor Mum who runs and owns Alhassan Gbanzaba School. I hope you fully enjoyed your trip though.
Oh ! ,what a nostalgia . We used to live in Tamale in the 70's in the Russian BUNGALOWS when my father served in the police force. My junior brother was then in school with ex-president MAHAMA at TAMASCO (TAMALE SECONDARY SCHOOL) while I was at wesley Grammar Dansoman Accra.
I’m sure your viewers appreciate it a lot taking them to the northern part of Ghana. I heard your comment like the pots were cheap. Pls remember the value of the money is different in different places. 10 cedes in the north may value over 100gh in the Accra area. It was amazing how precise the pots look without scientific measuring instruments to make them. I love your work. Asha is from somewhere in the northern part of Ghana.
10 cedis is still 10 cedis in any part of Ghana! Don't judge Northerners as "not needing much money". That nonsense comes from complacent Southerners who have never had to work for so little!
I love Tamale!! ❤️ I called it home for 6 months and then sadly had to leave when covid struck. Hoping to get back later this year to stay for even longer. Thank you for bringing back memories. The northern part of Ghana is so so beautiful 😍
They hand beat the hard clay then hand turn those pots without a wheel and then hand build a kiln to fire the pots to perfection. And all that for less than $2 - less than $40. Amazing!!!! My father was a ceramic potter so I understand a little about the process but he had a wheel and kilns. Wish I could buy some.
Another educational video on village life in Ghana and the women who work hard to live another day making beautiful things from the natural Earth. Awesome!! Gives thanks 😊
Thank you dear Jasmine. It is a pleasure to visit Ghana by your hand. How strong and supportive are Ghanaian women. God bless you and fill you with success. I send you a hug from Mexico 🇲🇽. Unfortunately I cannot travel anywhere due to my illness but it fills me with joy to travel with you through your videos. Thank you very much beautiful girl.
@@JasmineAmaa Gracias. Thank you dear girl. I am an elderly person and my condition is normal. But thanks to you I can get to know a part of the world so far from my country that I invite you to know it. Thank you very much for your attention
@ Jasmine hello my lovely sister, where do "I start "our people, all over the globe are some "extraordinary people, but the 'African women to me in my opinion as a black, American & my "Grandmother was an 'amazing hard-worker her, whole life & ! she, also taught my mom, also myself well . The 'African women, are the most hardest working women, on the plant ! ( The elder woman, is 'amazing she, had the teamwork she's an great teacher .. The women, in the Village are the hardest working women "I saw to date .. ( even the kid's help out not lazy this is wonderful this is how we suppose too work together as one ! ( "I love this thank you so much Jasmine, for the video this was very in'formative wonderful 'information.. Much love & blessing from US New Jersey , 💞
They're of the land and their hands know the soil!! Incredible stuff Jasmine! 👏🏾 One can only imagine how far back the craft has been handed down from generation to generation uncountable. No mechanised production lines, each finished with a lot of love, skill and care...literally inanimate pieces capturing the very essence of the people. This rich, authentic and beautiful culture of ours 😊
Nice dear going to the north am from bawku and i love to see you go around all the region of the north if possible. And God bless you all the way dear ❣️
This women are the backbone of Ghana, they might not have benefited from formal education , nevertheless they are very skillful and resourceful. Some of this women have different type of skills to depend on to generate income for a living . Africa you don’t wait for the government for anything, if help comes you bless God if none you go out there to do your thing with joy and happiness knowing that your hands is producing your wealth.
Jasmine, thanks for the beautiful content. We are so happy ! I have 2 questions. In The Carribean, like the Dutch Antilles they used to call the big claypot for waterstorage a Tinashi. Do you or anyone recognise Tinashi as an African word ? From which place, tribal area is this word for waterstorage claypot? Do anyone know the word confo ?? It is a word for an iron pot( look like a pot with 2 ears and in it you put the wood to cook and above it you put your cookingpots) to cook on it. They used woods just like the ladies in the video. These must be words our ancestors from Ghana area used, because my father in law knows for sure that his mother and grandmother are from Ghana and were taken as slaves and transported to the Carribean!!! The way they keep goats and live on the land, the way they sweep, is the same which make me really believe him.
Interesting. The pots are a work of art. I hope you explore and show more of Northern Ghana. The Savanna biome region is filled with natural beauty that is seldom shown.
hi Jasmine love the video and am amazed at how the ladies make the pots and at how they can carry the big one up on their heads and the pots r so cheap love them ashley australia
Hey Jasmine, this is a real treat for me, as I am just learning & making pottery myself. Love it! You are truly vested in the content that you present, very original. Thank you
I love love pottery so much but hardly find content on Ghana or Africa, you have made it possible. Please give a full hour at least ASMR on pottery please
Wow 😮 for someone who is into ceramic making this is exciting to see how clay pots are made without a spinning wheel and a kiln. This is 💯 natural process of it, but can’t they build a kiln than burning them there? Also I love how they are working so well together, it’s very inspiring. I think other women in the area should try to add greenery in the area to uplift the surroundings, that area looks too dry. ❤️🇿🇦🇬🇧
These women are amazing!! What great skills and talent. And they are so strong. I'm sure the men know not to mess with them to much right. ha ha. Thanks for sharing be safe Jazz.
Thanks Jasmine for your hard work. Watching this my heart bleeds when I see the amount of health risks this hardworking moms are exposing to, from no mask during cracking of dry clay, working on ashes unprotected to working next to open fire on a high temperature not to talk about transporting heavy things, rolling and molding all manual. Please some young Ghanaian engineers should help please.
Hi queen. We ( I belong to Africa group on Facebook) was just talking about this. And I thought these posts was so beautiful. And some people in group was saying the enjoy them because there keep water cold on a nice hot day.
Wow, that was interesting ! Thankyou very much. I cant believe the many differences in our cultures, I'm from Germany. This would be unthinkable to do here. As soon as you light a fire outside, the police will rush in and stop you. So much hard work for these women, they are doing a wonderful job.
Wow Africans are amazing people. I just got back from Ghana February 13th back to New York I’m still depressed. I remember seeing these pots along the road. I will be back in May and I will definitely buy a few pots for planting for the compound where I will be residing. And no men in sight those women are strong. African women magic 🪄
@@JasmineAmaa yes I will be back I already purchased a place to stay. I just came back to the America to take care of a few things then I’m back for good
Jasmine I really enjoy a lot of your videos this one I really enjoy because I love pot an now I appreciate them even more. I cannot wait to come back to Ghana and go their if I have time. So much to do you know. Maybe I can link up with you if possible . However those ladies in Tamale are very gifted I was so amazed. More please :)
Thank you for sharing I have 2 for cooking I like them because clay pots i my first cooking pot my grandma used to buy them for me when I was learning how to cook they are very expensive in the West
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. Tears rolled from my wife eyes. She is from The Carribean and recognise in these ladies her grandmother, mother and other people, their workethics, hard working in team, sweetness, way of sweeping!!!
Loved the video Jasmine. Mother Earth offers the oldest construction material. We make bricks from clay to build houses and now these pots. I heard that food cooked in these clay pots tastes better. Greetings from NY and keep up the good work.
Jasmine I LOVE THIS CONTENT. The strength of a woman is indescribable, the pots are beautiful. It would cost $200.00 and more for the big pots in certain section of the USA. I respect these ladies.
Thank you needed this been trying to make pots from scratch these women are brilliant very innovative. That potash/ash perfect manure for the garden and literally tons of uses for example toothpaste, body scrub add to cooking etc.
This dear Jasmine is gold!!! If you'd seen my comment on your aluminium pots you'll understand why i approved this clay method. This is what you can use for cooking in all shapes you can think of. Healthy and delicious food for the whole continent. Or use copper. ✌⚘🌱 love peace and light.
Wow o what an art! No wonder the name of the town is kukuo and they make kukuo as well Lol. The name of the town goes exactly with the job they do😁. And it's fascinating the way they sieve the clay like they're sieving light soup, and the moulding too like they're moulding the dough for chips or meatpie🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am seeing this 1 day late, it’s a great video delivered by you . Thanks 🙏 much for sharing, we don’t see anything like this fabulous skill here in the west. Obviously it’s a skill that’s passed on from generation to generation. One love from NYC.
