Once upon a time pottery in Bangladesh was very much rich. Industrialization replaced the golden time of the potters. Even that some potters are found across the country busy with this profession. A potters wheel is used to make specific shape of the wedged clay. A ball of clay is placed in the center of a turntable called wheel-headwhich the potter rotates with a stick with foot or hand power. The wheel rotates rapidly while the solid ball of soft clay is pressed, squeezed and pulled gently upward and outward into a hollow shape. A potter of Bangladesh never potters rather he works hard for his earning. lightandcomposition/photo-of-the-day-may-09-the-potter-and-his-wheel-by-shahnaz-parvin/
