A potter of Bangladesh never potters

Pottery is made by forming a clay body into objects of a requred shape and heating them to a high temperature in a klin to induce reaction that lead to permanent change including increasing strength and hardening and setting their shape. Prior to shaping process air trapped within the clay body needs to be removed. In rural Bangladesh it is done manually by wedging. A potter’s wheel is used to make specific shape of the wedged clay. A ball of clay is placed in the center of a turntable called wheel-headwhich the potter rotates with a stick with foot or hand power. The wheel rotates rapidly while the solid ball of soft clay is pressed, squeezed and pulled gently upward and outward into a hollow shape. Considerable skill and experience are required to throw pots of an acceptable standard. Prepared shapes are decorated, glazed and fired in a klin. As per history the pottery production started during the period 5000-4500 BCE. The potters-wheel was invented in Mesopotamia in between 6000-4000 BCE. Pott
