Poetry in Clay
The potters of Goa have been known
for their creativity and indeed their patience for the art. From
collecting clay from the various fields to baking the finished works
of art, these men and their families toil daily at an art form that is
slowly dying.

While in the old days, there was a
lot of business for earthenware in the house, today aluminum and
plastic have taken over.
As a result, in villages like Succor in Porvorim where earlier there
used to be exclusively potters, today few remain. Some have elevated
themselves to "designer artists" and seek to survive through up market
clients others "perform" at five-star hotels for foreign tourists -
giving them a glimpse of the way the wheel turned, in the process,
making Poetry in Clay.
