Palani Swamy's village in Pudukottai district

A Village Potter

Palani Swamy.

Pudukottai district, Tamil Nadu.

His work at his home.

He would throw off the hump, several pots on the traditional wheel.

After half a day of drying his wife would paddle them one by one. A pot is paddled, left to stiffen a little more and then paddled again to get the shape.

The stacked up cooking stove, devil head and horse and cow forms are coil-build.

Visit with my Japanese friends.
