Sieving clay in Kon Tơ Xing village 2/2

The clay has been pounded into powder. Y Gah sieves it using a plastic colander. In the past, she would use a woven fibre one, much similar to the flat basket on which she sieved the clay, but with small openings. She throws away the small rocks. The action of sieving is called “ơring” in Bahnar language. It is important to sieve so that the clay is “clear” and the pots do not explode in the fire.
