Traditional clay pottery in Nepal
A Nepalese man checks on his pottery being heated within a wood fired kiln in Nepal.
Pottery has a long history in Nepali culture. The oldest recorded finds in Lumbini date back at least 2600 years. The large ceramic water pots can be found in almost every village in Nepal which are used to collect, store and transport water. These vessels also keep water cool. Clay goods are also essential to many Hindu and Buddhist religious ceremonies. During pujas small ceramic cups are used to hold candles and butter lamps. Traditional Newari rice wine called aila is made using a special ceramic set-up crafted just for distilling rice or millet alcohol: several clay containers of various sizes are used in conjunction with a large ceramic vessel with holes punced in the bottom. Without this special holed vessel the creation of potent aila would not be possible.
The skills of Nepali potters have been passed on from generation to generation. There are entire families that trace their heritage side by side with the occupation of pottery.
There are two major centres of pottery making in Nepal: Bhaktapur and Thimi. Thimi is a small charming town situated between Kathmandu and Bhaktapur. 95% of people residing in Thimi have the last name Prajapati which comes from the Sanskrit word producer and is the traditional Nepali caste of potters.
Ceramics made in Bhaktapur are considered superior to those made elsewhere primarily because they mostly use black clay which is called Dyo Cha literally meaning clay of God and is found only in one place. It is said to be supple and elastic in nature. Only the Prajapatis of Bhaktapur are allowed to dig for it and only once a year. To dig clay is a very hard and risky work. People go in groups and dig down to more than 10-12 feet. Then tunnels are made and clay is digged out. Sometimes lives have been lost as a result of cave-ins.
Besides common vessels and flower pots, you can find here many other objects made of clay: different animals sculptures, Buddha and Hindu deities statues, bells, tea mugs and cups.

The first Sunday of every month is a heritage day in France, and many places of cultural interest are open free of charge. The most popular places get very crowded, so check the hours and go early if at all possible. The Quai Branly Museum is in Central Paris, France and is quite new. It replaces some older museums which were no longer well-adapted to displaying the works and objects, and it has a huge permanent collection, several temporary shows running at a time, a médiathèque, a cinemathèque, a theatre and events space, boutiques, ateliers with many types of activities and teaching/learning possibilities, places to eat and drink, and lovely gardens (no smoking allowed!). The usual full entry fee is ten euros per person, less than that to see less, there are various reductions and even free passes possible for some people, and again, on a journée du patrimoine, you can get in for free.
We looked at a bit of the permanent collections to see a few things we already know and love and wanted to see again, and we saw a show of modern Australian aboriginal art, and saw part of a show about Nigeria, Africa. The museum is beautiful inside and out, and quite accessible, but it's huge! If you want to make a day of it, take a change of footwear and discreetly pack some light foods. If you're prepared to spend some money, there is a very fancy, beautiful restaurant (reservations recommended), at least one café/bar, and the boutique/gift shops are expensive, yes, but they really do sell some terrific things.
Information on this museum is online and very good. I am available as a private guide and business facilitator here in France, and I do export, teaching and training -- anything which is legal, really!
Many of the objects seen here in this short clip look ancient, but most are extremely recent. The exhibition has good documentation in both French and English, and the museum makes an effort to provide good documentation in other languages, also. Some of these objects are vessels. Some are for the remains of the dead to be placed in, and then later destroyed, after appropriate rituals and mourning have occurred, so the dead will not bother the living. Some are to attract illnesses of various types. The vessels are then baked, causing them to become ceramics, thus sealing in the illness. I like the spikey vessel which shows a type of vertebrae, and it's supposed to attract back pain, draw it out of a person, and contain it safely. In the mid-19th c., as Muslim influence entered the country and representational art and depiction was frowned upon, the objects changed. Much about the history of this country is shown in the show, and we really enjoyed it, looking as long as we could, until we got tired.
Do you use talismans or lucky charms? Do you like Feng Shui? Do you keep religious objects about? Photos of deceased loved ones? Comments are welcome here.

In art history, ceramics and ceramic art mean art objects such as figures, tiles, and tableware made from clay and other raw materials by the process of pottery. Some ceramic products are regarded as fine art, while others are regarded as decorative, industrial or applied art objects, or as artifacts in archaeology. They may be made by one individual or in a factory where a group of people design, make and decorate the ware. Decorative ceramics are sometimes called art pottery.
The word ceramics comes from the Greek keramikos (κεραμικος), meaning pottery, which in turn comes from keramos (κεραμος), meaning potter's clay. Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made this way. In modern ceramic engineering usage, ceramics is the art and science of making objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the action of heat.

Homebrewing Beer under Mugabe 2017 | Travelling Homebrewers Episode 1: Zimbabwe
This is where it all began. We were in Zimbabwe 2 months before Robert Mugabe resigned and decided to start homebrewing beer.
As of 2017, Zimbabwe is not an easy country for the aspiring homebrewer. Harare no longer has any home brewing stores that can meet the needs of all-grain brewing so it's going to be a mission to get started!
This is the 1st of 4 videos documenting our first ever beer brewing attempt. Can we do it? Watch and find out...
