TRAVELLED TO TAMALE GHANA TO LEARN AFRICAN POTTERY FIRING | HOW AFRICAN POTS ARE MADE
In this video, I share with you the steps required in African Pottery Making and firing. I travelled to Tamale Ghana to a small town called Kukuo where a majority of the Ghanaian women make these Ghana pots and sell to the local markets for a living. I hope you enjoy the step by step process used by these women from sifting the clay, to adding, water, kneading, making the pots and then drying and firing the pots.

Those pots serve as refrigerator when u store water there it keeps the water very cool.

Good to know.

And the water from these pots tastes like heaven especially when you burn those mbefin(don't know the English name)

Thats life in the village for our hard working mothers.Just like in the Pacific Islands.Saw them carrying firewood remind me of my mother.I missed her so much.Cant wait to go home to Png frm Philippines and visit her cemetry💔 My back bone,my heart and my everything.Didnt hve the chance to repay her hardwork yet and she left me.

Drinking water from these earthen vessels (cooler) is very refreshing when especially it is smoked with palm nut residue every so often.

[@Flourish_today]

That's true and it keeps the water cool.

Water from the smoked pot of the residue of palm nut is magic.

[@dellcinebrown1172]

That was very educational I just love the way you showed those women work ethic and how they mold the pots and cure them for sale I think the prices should be a little bit more money than that but the old lady made it look so easy how she put that pot together didn't take her no time Lord continue to bless her and strengthen her to keep doing what she's doing amen 🙏 🙌

Good video showing a big part of the process of making pottery. The balls of clay in the firing were for making temper or "grog" which is added to clay to prevent cracking during firing and firing.

I can't wait to own a few of those!!! Do you how much we in the USA pay for the large pots??? $500+ That's why I'm waiting for my trip to Africa....so $40 is a steal! They are handmade & worth the purchase.

Storing water in these pots keeps it so cool. I was gonna say these are expensive pots. Probably her target market is her community that’s why she sells them at that price.

Interesting how the town is called Kukuo,. Doesn't kukuo in akan mean Pot? I wonder who named the town. Great work btw Jaz

Thank you dear Jasmine. It is a pleasure to visit Ghana by your hand. How strong and supportive are Ghanaian women. God bless you and fill you with success. I send you a hug from Mexico 🇲🇽.

This is absolutely amazing. Not even a potters wheel is used. Love it. I miss Tamale. Spent several years teaching at Tamale Sec School many years ago, so I can relate to your trip and experiences, however, with all the years spent there and seeing these pots, it never occurred to me to find out how these were made, so thanks for sharing. I do go back to Tamale any time I am in Ghana to visit my adaptor Mum who runs and owns Alhassan Gbanzaba School. I hope you fully enjoyed your trip though.

[@JasmineAmaa]

Ah thanks. So glad I could bring some memories ❤️

[@georgeacquaye3523]

I’m sure your viewers appreciate it a lot taking them to the northern part of Ghana. I heard your comment like the pots were cheap. Pls remember the value of the money is different in different places. 10 cedes in the north may value over 100gh in the Accra area. It was amazing how precise the pots look without scientific measuring instruments to make them. I love your work. Asha is from somewhere in the northern part of Ghana.

[@JasmineAmaa]

This is true but 10ghs is still not muchh for the amount of work required. Xx

[@barbudo12]

10 cedis is still 10 cedis in any part of Ghana! Don't judge Northerners as "not needing much money". That nonsense comes from complacent Southerners who have never had to work for so little!

[@princessadu-bekoe3559]

I love the finished product and the hard work put into it, however, I am concerned about the inhalation of dust and it's effect on their lungs.

Oh ! ,what a nostalgia . We used to live in Tamale in the 70's in the Russian BUNGALOWS when my father served in the police force. My junior brother was then in school with ex-president MAHAMA at TAMASCO (TAMALE SECONDARY SCHOOL) while I was at wesley Grammar Dansoman Accra.

They hand beat the hard clay then hand turn those pots without a wheel and then hand build a kiln to fire the pots to perfection. And all that for less than $2 - less than $40. Amazing!!!! My father was a ceramic potter so I understand a little about the process but he had a wheel and kilns. Wish I could buy some.

Wow 😮 for someone who is into ceramic making this is exciting to see how clay pots are made without a spinning wheel and a kiln. This is 💯 natural process of it, but can’t they build a kiln than burning them there? Also I love how they are working so well together, it’s very inspiring. I think other women in the area should try to add greenery in the area to uplift the surroundings, that area looks too dry. ❤️🇿🇦🇬🇧

Its only this dry in the dey season ❤️❤️

Wow, that was interesting ! Thankyou very much. I cant believe the many differences in our cultures, I'm from Germany. This would be unthinkable to do here. As soon as you light a fire outside, the police will rush in and stop you. So much hard work for these women, they are doing a wonderful job.

[@brotheramos1613]

Jasmine, thanks for the beautiful content. We are so happy ! I have 2 questions. In The Carribean, like the Dutch Antilles they used to call the big claypot for waterstorage a Tinashi. Do you or anyone recognise Tinashi as an African word ? From which place, tribal area is this word for waterstorage claypot? Do anyone know the word confo ?? It is a word for an iron pot( look like a pot with 2 ears and in it you put the wood to cook and above it you put your cookingpots) to cook on it. They used woods just like the ladies in the video. These must be words our ancestors from Ghana area used, because my father in law knows for sure that his mother and grandmother are from Ghana and were taken as slaves and transported to the Carribean!!! The way they keep goats and live on the land, the way they sweep, is the same which make me really believe him.
