CONSERVING CLAY CULTURE WITH THE LAST POTTERS OF LIKIR
Pottery workshop at Likir
The process of procuring a pot is simple yet sophisticated, sustainably designed and collects all its credit from nature.The potter was a 15 year old boy when he started the practice of pottery. He has been doing it for 45 years now. His story dives into the time of King Gyalpo Namgyal, when each village in Ladakh was sanctioned with a different responsibility. The people of Likir were bestowed with pottery as their task and thus, natural progression lead to years of a practice that developed into a passionate expression of traditional art.
