Description:... The 'gift' of clay is essential to Indian culture, past and present. Its accessibility, ease of workmanship and fragility assures its constant renewal. The importance of pottery in India is reflected in the fact that there are more working potters there - more than 350,000 - than any other country in the world. The various photographs represent the pottery and techniques used throughout India, most of these works have never before been documented.
