A'Ali Village Pottery

Years ago we lived in A'ali Village. The A'Ali pottery is one of the national crafts. The small factory is built on and around old stone mounds believed to be the original communal kilns.

Today we took a look at the old pottery site.

The pottery is still made in the traditional way on a kick wheel where the man's legs are in the hole below the throwing wheel.

Brings back memories of Ceramics 101 at Interlochen!

Here is a short video.
