Clay kaolin is the best raw material for firing porcelain. For thousands of years, many exquisite ceramics have evolved from these humble porcelain clay. The first process of making porcelain: clay is to make porcelain clay into usable porcelain clay.

The porcelain clay washed out by piles of mud can't be used immediately. It should be divided into ceramic works of art and stored in columns for painting.

Blank drawing: put the stacked porcelain clay into a large turntable, and draw the porcelain clay into a porcelain blank by hand and blank drawing tools by rotating the turntable. The printed porcelain blank is only the embryonic form, and different molds need to be selected according to the shape to be made to print the porcelain blank into various shapes.

The thickness of the freshly printed blank is uneven, so it is necessary to trim the printed blank neatly and symmetrically through the trimming process, which can be divided into wet trimming and dry trimming.

Squeezing water is an essential process, that is, washing off the dust on the blank with clear water to prepare for the following processes such as drawing blank and glazing.
