1.

Initially all the raw materials are

2. The grounded raw material is sieved with

Jaali (Iron Sieve).

3. The raw materials are mixed with water to

4. The non-sticky dough is ready for casting.

5. The dough is flattened in a round shape

like chapatti.

6. The round shaped dough is placed in the mold and

17. The base is attached using potters

wheel.

18. The product is again smoothened after

20. Artisan designs from their imagination.

21. The designs on the products are filled

painting.

23. The product is dipped in final solution of

glaze to obtain shine.

24. The excess solution is removed and kept
