Pottery by Osa<p>New blog post: I started sharing images & info from out-of-print book <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NigerianPottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NigerianPottery</span></a> which contains photos of pots I haven't seen anywhere online, particularly with this level of regional detail.</p><p>I’m hoping access to such visual archives might inform contemporary practice – both for those reconnecting with heritage and anyone invested in global ceramic histories. Will be adding to this gradually as I work through the material.</p><p><a href="https://potterybyosa.com/blogs/clay-people/rare-images-from-nigerian-pottery-a-look-at-historical-forms" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">potterybyosa.com/blogs/clay-pe</span><span class="invisible">ople/rare-images-from-nigerian-pottery-a-look-at-historical-forms</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pottery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Nigeria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nigeria</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AfricanArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AfricanArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ceramics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ceramics</span></a></p>
