More Potters

While we were planting John's garden, we found that his neighbors are potters.  We have a way of finding what we love here.






Some of the potters start them inside where they won't dry out so fast.

















They paint them after they are fired.  We like them best without the paint.





  They dig the clay from a swampy area near-by and then bring it here and put it in a pile.  She is getting the moist clay from the center of the pile.








Wedging the clay.



This little girl understands the wedging process!


One day she will be a great potter.





These big pots are used to keep their drinking water cool.


They are fired right here on that burned spot.  We weren't able to return on Friday when they were doing a firing.
