Friends we know on
earth when life was started civilization by self vision , in that movement
humans were created some basic rules and
elements for civil life . that was a creative step about development of vision
or life by way of creation of civilization
.
Humans were came out from caves and they were created
home, food cooking system, collection of natural element in pot . Actually
Humans were learned and created some way
of use to nature for life. Fire , wheel , pot of clay and some other element
of nature human were got by manual exercises
. we can say that was research of them for present life on earth.
Today life is using to
all concept of past life like a culture
of life in our system of civilization . today life get some more advance and
with different way but that’s base or concept is old because that is a basic requirement or civilization system .
In past human were working by manual exercise
so that time all creation of life was craft . time was gave to that craft some
different look and shape but that’s basic concept was running in all change of
time . a wheel concept was started by
stone and after that, that stone was converted in wood or after wood that was
converted in mettle and today in contemporary
time that wheel is in fiber .Fire it was started by
stones after that humans were searched
some more and new way of fire in this nature and today in contemporary
time life using to gas’s or some more
way for fire .In pots , first pot was
stone or wood but after that human were
created pots by clay, mettles today that is convert in fiber pots .
But today our human
civilization system have all kind of way for life with sound of past culture .
we can say today we have mixed cultural civilization in our contemporary time.
Because today many
creative person are busy in following work of past culture . they are taking to
our past culture like a challenge , in
this condition they are working manual work with same process of old method . so we can say they are follower
of culture or they are creating a
tradition in our contemporary time as a example of past culture or that’s historical
sound . I were thought it when I were saw a live demonstration of a clay pot maker
. he was creating clay pot by his hand that was manual pottery work of him. I
saw he was created many small clay pots by his hand with historical clay pot method
. in that live demonstration I saw he
was created pot’s of water collection ,
traditional light lamps , pot’s of corn
collection, pots of flower decoration and some more daily uses pots of home .
We know someone following
to historical culture for recreation in
this contemporary time and someone is
using to that cultural recreated element for life ,in home. For example drinking water pot , traditional light lamp ,
traditional smoking tool HUKA, flower pot ’s , food dices , shades of clay and
some more manual crafted element about civil life. It is with us today because someone are
following to cultural craft work in our advance civilization system. Today we
are using that crafted element as a artificial product in our home and some seniors are liking to cultural environment in home so
they are following to our cultural crafted element for daily use . I am also putted
a clay pot of water , on outside of my
studio wall for birds , birds are drinking water from that pot every day .
In past civil system was started with very
limited medium or concept they were thinking only for basic requirement with limited
creation or concept , we can say that was limitation of vision of past life. But
today that basic or limited craft concept is convert in fashion or in
decoration for contemporary civilization because today humans life have lots of
way or vision for easy life or a strong civilization system . but someone is
busy in follow to cultural concept . because that is a basic concept of
civilization about life on this earth . so after visit to a follower of manual
craft ( clay pot maker ) I thought and said to that culture of craft.
