here... the china clay (white cement) is a natural binder... tht gives natural ceramic effect with proper moulding shapes in mud effect... so after completing... even ur small simple designs 'll turn out well and seemps like it has attached in the pot by it own...
in simple way...
it is used for binding purpose for a blending finish...
hope this 'll help
cheers...!!:)

Appreciate your efforts for bringing in all details about hobbies and crafts from various sites. I can see that most of your posts are from WebIndia. These can easily be googled by us. I am sure you try them out before you post it here, why dont you put in pictures of your pieces? Why I am telling this, is primarily because even if the steps are simple there lie certain difficulties in doing a piece on our own. There can be certain places, where we get stuck. So I think it would be better if you do a piece on your own and post pictures.

Ashu,

We appreciate your efforts to share the steps that you came across in other sites on this hobby of pottery making. We are also happy to know that you followed those steps and made your own pottery and sold them.

Like Archana mentioned, it would have been great if you have added your own tips and suggestions based on your experience, in addition to the steps you posted taking from the other site.
BTW, we edited your 1st post to mention "courtesy" reference for the other site, to avoid any copy-right problems. Kindly include like it in future if you reproduce content from other sites.

Sine you are already doing, you can sure help them in this regard.

Archana,

Though you ask Ashu to post costs and selling price for the items she is making for information sharing purposes, we would advice not to post those kind of info until someone is really keen to do the same and earn out of it.

Because once the cost, price, etc. comes into the discussion it becomes more of a business than a discussion with information sharing intent.
