Process of Making Porcelain Pottery
Before making porcelain pottery, porcelain has to be created. Porcelain is basically an amalgamation of kaolin and clay. White color clay is known as kaolin, which is made up of feldspar. Another type of feldspar is petuntse. Both these materials are mixed together and molded by hand or on potter’s wheel. Then, at a very high temperature, it is fired in a kiln wherein kaolin does not dissolve but petuntse melts and forms a glass-like structure. And finally, it groups with kaolin.
