Pottery (The making of Ikoko) Sustainable Development

Terracotta pots produced by Traditional women are used in daily life by the majority of the Nigerian rural population. They may be cheap to make and very cheap to replace yet these women see it as a calling, a craft to be practised by generations yet unborn.
The largest community of potters in Nigeria is called Ebu Dada, located on the outskirts of Ilorin. The community consists only of Yoruba women who are hereditary full-time professional potters. Here a green ware water vessel is in process of final construction.
