For pots, the clay which is dug locally and prepared by the family, is thrown on the wheel to form the rudimentary pot. The pots cannot be completed on the wheel as they usually have a round bottom. Therefore after a few hours, when the pot has partially hardened, the pot is supported from the inside and beaten \vii h a wooden bat chasing the pot into the desired shape. lt is then allowed todry.

The sculptures are mostly made on the wheel. When dry these are stuck together and coated with fresh clay. The details of the animal's features are then added and the surface smoothed out. The painting of the pottery is usually done by women making the whole process very much a family craft. The paints are made from red, white and black earth pigments found locally. Geru is made from red clay, Goru from white clay and Karu from a black stone. Usually, the whole pot is first given a wash of a base colour. Then the other colours are painted on with a piece of bamboo stick. Many different motifs are used formed out of dots and diagonal, concentric or zigzag lines. These designs become permanent after firing.. The pottery is fired using an open-firing method. Here the pots are piled up or laid out and a mixture of dried cow dung, straw and other fuel is piled up around the pots to form a dome. Mud is then placed over the entire pile. With carefully positioned air channels, the fire burns evenly for several days. The pots are removed when cool.
