"Hi, I am Nipa Banerjee from Art Space India talking on behalf of Expert Village. Now, let me introduce you some of the materials for preparation of liquid clay. These materials I am using now required for earthenware body. First, let me take raw clay. Then, we add feltsper at required quantity. Then, adding grog in same mixture. After that, we need to add china clay also. Sometimes, we find it is necessary to crush some of the materials like raw clay, china clay, etc. This will help to dissolve it properly. Now, we are adding all these materials with water. Mix it properly and evenly. Now, your liquid clay is ready but, keep it for 15 days. After 15 days, remove the extra water from the top of the mixture and pour it in a plaster of Paris bed. Plaster of Paris helps to absorb the excess water of the clay. So, ultimately, we are having the clay in dough form. Now, the dough is ready and you can prepare any design on the wheel and I am sure that you are getting an idea about making of the clay. Thank you."
