The clay comes from local sources. It is soaked in water for 15 days to enhance the elasticity in preparation for forming. Next the clay is mixed taking into account the air temperature, structure of the kiln and style to be created. Different machines are used to carry this task. Then, once again, the mixed clay is left 1 more day for packing and finally machine cut to produce appropriate sizes.
The second stage is to form the product. We employ both the mold and coil techniques. For large items, it takes as many as 5 days to build a pot using the coiling method. The bottom is shaped by patting clay into form. The following day, after the base solidifies, the walls are built up by using thick rope like sections of clay. The pot walls are smoothed by hand using primitive wooden mallets. Lastly the rim and if specified decorative attachments are added to the pot. The newly formed product is left to dry for 2 days. Other styles require use of molds. Slabs of clay are cut to the appropriate thickness then hand pressed into molds to form the pot's structure.
If glazing is specified it is applied by pouring the mixture over the outer surface or dipping the entire pot into a vat of glazing material. Finally the product is ready to be fired. Firing takes an average 7 days, as the kiln must reach temperatures of 1200 - 1250 degrees Celsius slowly and then just as carefully cool down for several days.
