The Process of Making Porcelain

1. Pulling clay to form an object - To put the kneaded clay on the center of the potter's wheel, then to pull the clay to form an object while the wheel is moving.

2. Trimming - To put the dry object upside down on the wooden stake in the center of the wheel, then to trim the surface of the body with a knife.

3. Impressing - To put the half-dry object on the clay model, then to revolve the object slowly and pat it at the same time. This is a special process for round objects.

4. Glazing - To coat the object with glaze. Round objects are usually glazed in two ways: the inside and the bottom are glazed with shaking method; the outside is glazed with dipping method.

5. Painting(underglazed blue) - To paint various designs on the surface of the finished objects with blue pigment by brush. Usually, the inside wall is painted and glazed before the outside wall is painted.
