The Finger Paintshop, by Ashik Masud

They make most of these pots with their bare hands. They also take the help of a revolving wheel, which is made of wood or metal, to make these pots into different shapes and designs. The potter throws the kneaded clay into the center of the wheel rounding it off, and then spins the wheel. As the whirling gathers momentum, the potter begins to shape the clay. When it is over he severs the shaped clay from the rest.
