How to do Ceramic Work on Pot - Part 1

by supria on March 16, 2009

Ceramic Pot
For the background
*Mix Ceramic powder and Fevicol in 3:2 Ratio like Idly batter with a tablespoon.
*Now take little mixture in a knife without lumps and press in the pot little upwards and bring it down so that u form a rose petal shape.
*Complete one row and do the next row of petals in between two petals of the first row.
*Complete the pot and let it dry for 24 hrs.

For Making the flower
*Mix Ceramic powder and cornflour in the ratio 3:1 and add small pieces of cotton to make the binding strong and mix with required quantity of fevicol to make the dough.
*Now take required quantity of the dough and roll it into thilakam (cone) shape and make patterns with knife, stick it in the pot.
*Make 10 or 13 petals for the first row leaving gap in the center for pollens.
*Then make 10 or 13 more for next row and fix them in between two petals.
*Let it dry and in the mean time make the pollens.
*For the pollens make very small balls and make tails for the balls by rolling with your fingers (like meteors).
*Make 100 balls and let it dry.
*Now take a ball from the dough and fix in the center of the sunflower using fevicol and fix the dried pollens in the ball and let it dry.
*For making the black flower take small balls and make thilakam shape and press with your hands, make 100 of petals and let it dry for a day.
*Take a big ball and stick it in the pot with fevicol and fix the petals row by row from outside to inside and let it dry.
*For the leaf , take a real leaf of required size, take a big ball and make into a thilakam shape and spread across the leaf from the center after applying little oil in the leaf so that it comes out from the leaf with impressions.
*Now stick the leaf to your imagination before it dries.

Coloring this pot is also tricky. Will let u know about it in coming days.

Cheers
