Summary

Description
English: The Khavda potter gets mud from a specific lake area near village, known as ‘Rann ka mitti’. This soft clay is shaped into a pot on a potter’s wheel and left to dry in shade. Then Kumbhar women, the women of potter community, use red, black, and white clay-based paints, to decorate each piece of pottery with distinct designs. After a while, the pots are cleaned and put in the sun to dry and then baked in a furnace. The vessels are coated with a thin wash of Geru (Red Colour). The pots of Khavda get their red colour from this red Geru, which is a type of soil. And the black and white dots and stripes on the pots, are also made with natural material.[1]
