Rediscovering pottery


Pottery is no longer made among the peoples of the Paroo Savanna.
The native teachers (mostly 20-30 years old) didn't remember to have watched pottery making.
We invited a old woman, who got very happy to be able to teach the team.
We got two kinds of clay, some kilometers far from the village.
In the central plaza we gathered to learn the basics about making pottery.





















Example of a traditional pot from the Mission village.
