To create a perfect product, the artisans have to follow 3 steps. Firstly, they have to make the product frame. To have a good frame, they have to choose suitable clay to make it. Then, they will decorate and cover the product with glazes. After being baked for 3 days and 3 nights, the product will be brought out, classified, checked and repaired if it has any mistakes.
All pottery are made manually, using traditional clay mixing, moulding, burning and baking techniques. The items created here are very beautiful and durable.
