Today we moved from Battambang to Kampong Chhnang which is on of the few places were a lot of pottery is made. Trip was relaxed as there was not much to stop for from photography point of view. First to hotel and drop our cases and next out to the village and the potteries. Here the created all kinds of pots in different shapes, sizes and usage. The first place was creating ovens for the houses and this was done more or less in a factory. Process was quite strict and monotone resulting in a nice reproducible product. Other places it was smaller scale with only a few people or a family working together. Backing of the product was done by putting it together with a lot of hay and then burn it. In the meantime adding enough to keep the heat. The girl in the next place didn't have a mold and was just walking around the clay. She was just to this so did't have any problem of getting dizzy as I would have had. And after some shots in the field of a lady busy with the rice and people on the bikes the day was over.
