Clay pottery made by hand xe2x80x94 without a wheel, without a kiln in the industrial sense xe2x80x94 is still part of daily life in many West African communities. Water jars, cooking pots, storage vessels: functional objects that also happen to be handmade craft pieces, often by the same person who will use them.
Most “African pottery” stock photography shows finished, cleaned-up pieces on a neutral background xe2x80x94 more product shot than documentation. What’s missing is the object in use, or at least in its real setting, with the imperfections and wear that come from actual daily handling.
Documenting the Object, Not Just Styling It
Our pottery collection includes pieces shown in their working context as well as detail shots that highlight the handmade texture and form.
