Kumhar - Video directed by Sohail Asim

Every village of pakistan has a potter (Khumbar or Kumhar) who 'wheels' out an amazing variety of household utensils and other objects of utility. They sit outside their huts, spinning their wheels, creating bowls, mugs, plates, urns, for storing and carrying water, flowerpots, foot-scrubbers, small pots and a myriad other articles required by household. With the spread of urbanization, the potter settlements have now mushroomed on the outskirts of big cities and towns
