Toot

Every #potter, every #craftsperson, is a #culturalpreservationist. When I took my first #pottery class 12 years ago, I had no idea what I was participating in, how ancient and huge it was.

A South African potter named #JabulileNala taught me how to coil build. She comes from a long line of #Zulu potters with a tradition extending back at least 2,000 years.

Biseat Yakwal took this #filmphoto of me teaching a coil building workshop in Gainesville, FL in 2023.
