They shape ceramic products without a turntable, using only simple tools according to traditional manual methods. The tool to shape the product is just a table and a small piece of rough cloth. By slightly bending down, the legs move around the table, the worker uses his hands to shape the body of the product. Finished brushing, they let it dry naturally. The product shaping and shading tool is very simple. The burning materials are straw and firewood.
