Clay

Clay is a mineral-containing fine-grained natural soil. Both silica and magnesia can be found in the mineral. We can easily mold clay into any shape at an initial wet stage. It becomes firm when hard, and its color converts into a dark grey hue and it will be extremely fragile, making it readily breakable. That’s why it has to be kilned to harden. When burnt at high temperatures, it undergoes a chemical process that permanently alters its physical shape.

The clay is the clay: cooking pots, bowls, dishwashers, art pieces, and even musical instruments. The fireplace is referred to as a kiln, and it is used to harden pottery by firing it. After Firing, we can manufacture both functional and beautiful pottery.
