Previous studies have illustrated the symbolic prominence of pottery making in sub-Saharan Africa. In many parts of the continent, the craft is explicitly connected to a series of other production activities and parts of the technical process often serve as a metaphor for explaining aspects of the human experience and to structure certain rituals.

The term ball clay is applied to plastic sedimentary clays, high in kaolinite, which possess white firing properties and high green strength. According to Scott (1) the name ball clay derives not from any specific property of the clay but from the original method of production, which consisted of cutting out the clay in open pits into cubes ...
