  • A Hindu Cham woman making ceramic pots using a traditional method in the famous pottery village of Bau Truc in Central Vietnam. Cham potters do not use a wheel to make pots, instead clay is pressed into shape using the hands. Layers of clay are added to the original piece and the potter moves around the object, pressing the clay into the desired shape. They are then put directly in the sun and completely bone dried, making them ready to be fired. Firing is done in an open pit with temperatures going up to 800 degree Celcius. The pots are arranged together and covered with layers of rice straw, which is set on fire.
