Neriage

While Robyn was away in Nauvoo, I had the chance to spend some time at home. One afternoon, I was able to watch my dad work his magic at the potter's wheel. I documented one of these neriage pots from start to finish, taking a photo every thirty seconds (excluding drying time). Since today is his birthday, I think it's appropriate to post a video so you too can watch him transform a chunk of clay into a tall and beautiful vessel. Happy Birthday Dad.

  1. That was neat to see the process. I've never had the chance to watch him make a "tiger" pot before. He is one talented man isn't he?!?
