Pottery Series 5
After molding and shaping and baking the pots in an underground pit, they are reheated in a fire to cook them just right or to 'season' them (I don't really know the exact English word for it).
Interesting. Didn't know about this step. Grabe, ang hirap namang gawin ito without a proper kiln. Sigh. And I've seen hobbyist pottery-makers with their own kilns samantalang ang mga tao na ito for whom this is a livelihood can't even have the proper tools for their craft.
