I’ve been making bedside water bottles for years but I don’t make them very often. They’re inspired by Mexican botellones—small clay water jugs with an accompanying cup which serves as a cover. Sometimes the cup has a handle. I’ve also discovered a Congolese version of the botellón. It’s such a simple and effective idea that it’s no surprise it would appear in multiple cultures. #pottery #ceramics #beautility

@potterybyosa@mastodon.social Thanks for sharing about your work and indeed it is impressive,and it would be better is you can have a young person whom you are training such that skills can be shared from one person to another. On my side,I train young people in schools and communities about sustainable food production and environmental conservation. Our harvests are donated to vulnerable families in the community while food from School gardens, eaten by learners. Let's work together and empower communities.
