Ceramic artist MAKWARELA ELIZABETH MAKAHANE tells us who she is and how she makes her beautiful pots. She demonstrates, together with and for her granddaughters, the methods and knowledge involved in this ancient art, from collecting the clay to cleaning it, pounding it and preparing it, to shaping and decorating the pots and then firing them. She reflects on how the system of art exchange has changed, and her hopes for this art to continue.
