Model Answer

The given diagram illustrates the various stages of ceramic pots manufacturing.

Overall, the making of ceramic pots involves ten steps, beginning from collecting raw material and end with fishing pots.

The process begins with digging up raw materials by a digger, and then they are delivered to a factory. After that in the factory, the raw clay crushed twice to become finer clay, and then it is sent to a tank where it is mixed with water. In the next step, moistened/wet clay is pumped into moulds and is left in those moulds for 4 to 6 hours to fix them into their final shape.

They are then placed in an oven and heated to over woo degrees Celsius. Following this, pots are coloured, and the pots are then fired for the second time in another kiln to sets the paint pigments in place and make them ready for the sale.
