Two Methods of EXERCISE - 2
Making pottery on the potter's wheel is called throwing'. The thrower is a very
skillful workman. But there is another method of shaping articles out of clay, 'moulding'. A
plaster mould is made and the clay is pressed into it. This is a quicker and less difficult way to
make things like handles, but all the most beautiful pottery is thrown. When a piece of pottery
is taken off the wheel, it is put aside to dry, after which a design may be painted on it with
special colours that will stand great heat; it is then ready to be fired. This is done in a large
oven or kiln. The pieces of pottery are placed in earthenware tubs called 'saggers' so that the
flames cannot touch the pots.
