Tool
The potter places a ball of clay in the centre of a spinning wheel. Using the appropriate speed and his hands, the potter guides the clay, shaping it into the desired form for the flower pot. The potter decides on the final shape of the piece. Once moulded, the pot is left to dry. The pot is then placed in a kiln and subjected to high temperatures. The firing process hardens the clay, transforming it into a durable ceramic piece ready for use.
