Answer:
Where is clay red found in Nepal?
Every day since he was a pint-sized 12-year-old, Tulsi Bahadur Prajapati has collected clay and kneaded it with his feet. It's tiring, but nothing compared with what follows. Thimi's Prajapati potter community doesn't use the elegant little wheels most of us picture potters working with. They use old tires filled with concrete that weigh more than 300 kg. Starting the wheels is so laborious, it is the only aspect of pot-making that Thimi's women don't participate in. The men turn these improvised wheels with a pole at a frenzied pace until the tire is spinning fast enough for them to throw two or three pots in about five minutes. "It's incredible that the pots are so symmetrical. They're thrown so quickly and the tire is so unstable and unpredictable," says Ani Kastan, an American potter who studied potting methods in Thimi. Larger pots, such as the deodars used to store changes, are first built up out of clay coils and then beaten smooth with a paddle.
