Pottery

This is another shot taken in Pakistan capturing the beauty that is created by the hands of the people. Here you see a man’s hands forming a bowl identical to the tens and twenties he has already created that morning. What you don’t see is that he sits on a flat rock on the floor surrounded by sand and gravel under a tattered tent shielding him from the blistering heat. But these conditions do not effect the perfection of his craft. In the hour I spent with him, never did a bowl turn out to be anything other than what he expected, perfect.

a really interesting and unique image, great work

Love the composition, the interlinking circles keep the image together, the movement adds to the drama of throwing the pot.
Hena Tayeb replied

thanks. i was amazed at the ease with which he was creating all these cups and vases…he even went on to use a small tool to make ungravings on them while still turning on the wheel.

I like how you captured the motion of creating. I use to have a small pottery studio, but never this good on the wheel.
Hena Tayeb replied

thank you. what did u make? i’ve tried the wheel, definately not easy.
jegustavsen

I made some mugs, vases, etc. I did more slab design which I noticed in Crate & Barrell some of their coffee mugs, flatware is a slab design. I agree the wheel was not easy. Some days I would be on a role, other days nothing turned out well.
Hena Tayeb replied

that is really cool. working with clay was never my thing but we had to do a short course in college..it was kind of mandatory. i was always bad at it but was amazed at what wonderful things some of my classmates were able to produce.
