A Woman at the Cleaning Stage of Pottery-Making, 1913 Date: 1913 This evocative image captures the intensive and meticulous process of pottery-making during the early 1910s. The photograph shows a woman deeply focused on her work, her expression reflecting the concentration and dedication required in this traditional craft. The woman is seen at the cleaning stage of pottery-making, where she carefully brushes away residual clay and debris from the freshly formed pottery. With a deft hand, she uses a long-handled brush to remove impurities and smooth out the surface, revealing the intricate designs and patterns that have been carefully crafted by her skilled hands. The pottery studio, filled with the warm glow of natural light streaming in from the windows, is a testament to the artisanal nature of this time-honored craft. The shelves and tables are lined with half-finished pots, each one unique and bearing the mark of the potter's touch. The woman's attire, simple and practical, reflects the working environment of the pottery. Her apron is covered in clay, a testament to the hands-on nature of her work. The scene is one of quiet focus and determination, as the woman brings each piece to life through her deft touch and unwavering dedication. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of pottery-making during the early 1910s, a time when traditional crafts continued to thrive in the face of industrialization. The woman's dedication to her craft, and the beauty and functionality of the pots she creates, serve as a reminder of the enduring appeal of handmade objects and the artisanal traditions that continue to inspire us today.
