content: Edited film: a woman by a riverbank gathers clay and fungi, which are the raw materials for making pottery. The clay is thinned with fungi ashes and then is kneaded. The potter forms a plate with a smooth rim and a deeper cooking vessel. The bottom of the pot begins as a single lump of clay, while the sides are created by using the coil method. After the pots are dried by the sun, one of them is baked by surrounding it with firewood.
