Hi, I am Nipa Banerjee, a representative of Arts Space India talking on behalf of Expert
Village. Now, preparation of clay. Earthenware potteries are made up of red body clay and
stoneware is made up of white body clay. Stoneware is very popular. Now, the required materials
of both the types are the same, but the ratio is different. Proper ratio of each material
is very much essential for preparation of clay. As an example, I can show you how to
prepare 100 kg of clay. Take a big container and give 50 liter of water. Take 50 kg of
black clay, 20 kg of china clay, 20 kg of quartz, 10 kg of fire clay and 10 kg of feltsper
for making red clay body. That is for earthenware. This is red body clay, it's brownish in color
and this is commonly known as earthenware. Keep all materials in this container and mix
very, very smoothly and keep the mixture for 15 days separately. Thank you.
