Jane's World: Pottery at Kazuri Beads in Kenya

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

Pottery made at Kazuri Beads is for a local market. Beaded jewellery, on the other hand, is sold worldwide, including through fair trade networks.

After the clay is mixed, it is filter pressed (above) and then extruded through a pug mill.

Some pots are slipcast in plaster molds.

Some pots are formed by jigger jolly.

Glazing the pottery.

Some pots are made on Brent wheels (like mine!)
