First they form the shape of the pot by pouring slip clay into a mould, once dry it can be removed from the mould. The clay is then cleaned and prepared for firing in the kiln at 800*C

What is Tube lining; it's a technique of ceramic decoration. It involves squeezing a thin line of clay body through a nozzle onto the ware being decorated. A bit like icing a cake
