Question 7
Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow.
Case Study: Nala pots
Nesta Nala learnt the art of pot making from her mother and grandmother. The knowledge was passed down from one generation to another. The pots are shaped from soft clay. When they are baked, they keep their shape and become hard and waterproof. Nesta makes patterns in the clay to give them an interesting texture and to make them look more attractive. The pots are then baked in an oven called kiln. The baked pots are rubbed with an animal fat to make them waterproof, and polished to give them a smooth, shiny surface. The traditional uses of the pot were storage of water, beer and grain and cooking. Not many people use the clay pots for cooking and storage anymore. They buy pots and containers made from modern materials such as plastics and metals from shops. The Nala women continue to make beautiful pots which are often used as ornaments. They are mainly sold to collectors and overseas tourists.
7.1 How does Nesta Nala process the clay pots? (1)
