How to make pottery

Clay collection. Clay is taken by digging directly into soil containing a lot of good clay. The clay is either brownish or brownish white. The clay that has been excavated is then collected at a site for further processing.

Preparation of clay. Clay that has been collected watered until wet evenly and then silenced for one to two days. After that, then the clay is milled to be more sticky and tough. There are two ways of grinding that is manual and mechanical. Manual grinding is done by trampling the clay so that it becomes ductile and smooth. While mechanically using a milling machine. The best results will be generated using the manual grinding process.

The process of formation. After the grinding process, then the clay is ready to be formed in accordance with the wishes. Various shapes and designs can be produced from clay. How much clay and how long will it take depends on how big the pottery will be, the shape and the design. Artisan pottery will use both hands to form clay and both legs to rotate the rotator. The similarity of motion and concentration is necessary to do so. The tools used are rotary tools, batons, cobble, small cloth. Water is also very necessary to form pottery well.

Drying. Once the final form has been formed, it is continued by drying. Before dried in the sun, the pottery that has been slightly hardened smoothed with water and a small cloth and then made with a flint stone. After that newly dried in the sun until completely dry. The length of drying time is adjusted to the weather and the sun's heat.

Burning. After the pottery becomes hard and completely dry, then a lot of pottery is collected in a place or a furnace. The pots are then burned for several hours until they are really hard. This process is done so that the pottery is really hard and not easily broken. The fuel used for the combustion process is dry straw, dry coconut leaves or firewood.
