Here are the main stages of the process:
- Clay preparationThe clay is kneaded and cleaned from impurities. Then it is placed on the wheel and moistened to the right consistency.
- CenteringThe clay is aligned in the center of the wheel to avoid imbalance and deformation.
- ShapingUsing hands and tools, the potter gives the clay the desired form. It can be a cup, a plate, or another object.
- DryingAfter shaping, the piece is left to dry. It is important to control the humidity to avoid cracks and deformation.
- FiringThe finished piece is fired at high temperatures to become strong and durable.
- Glazing and finishingAfter the first firing, the piece can be decorated with glazes or underglazes. Then it is fired again to fix the colors and achieve a smooth, durable surface.
