Due to the nature of clay, artisans need to be dexterous and gentle with the source material, all the way up to the final step.The artisans decide on different designs and patterns for the jewelry with rough sketches in mind. Then they use solder wire and mould it into a U that holds the clay together. The wire helps to mould the wet, mixed clay. This component dries in the sun for 2-3 days. A process called baking follows after drying because drying helps with external moisture whereas baking deals with internal wetness. The clay bakes in intense (700-900 degrees celsius) heat for 4-5 hours. The final step consists of painting and decoration.
