Visit to the Pottery Village

The pottery village is my favorite place in our village (aside from the resort property, of course!) It is really wonderful to see how the potters make the tilas, cow troughs, and other pots that the villagers use on a regular basis. Visiting the pottery village around Pohela Boishakh time is particularly exciting as they make all kinds of little figurines and small pots for the big festival day.

I saw this man making a giant pot, forming it with his hands and a texture tool. Below is a small video (this is my first time uploading a video to the Panigram site, so hopefully it works! If you find any issues, please let me know!

Just in case the video doesn’t work, here are a couple photos!

Small pottery items the potters will sell at the Pohela Boishakh fair.
