Bead making doesn't have to be boring!

Terracotta round beads can be a little boring to make as the process is a little monotonous. But it doesn't have to be. Make them in batches and split your work so you not only enjoy working with beads but also helps improve the pace at which you work. Moisten each batch with a small quantity of water (just drops) and make them into beads. Hope you enjoy working with Terracotta clay as much as I do!

@nehagopinathpillai 5 жыл бұрын

There isn't any rule enforced here. You can work on any number, any design as you please. But if you are looking at a particular bead, of any style, any design you don't have to work on them one at a time. Make them in batches. I don't work on one pendant, then make beads for it. I might make about twenty thirty pendants, make beads of a different variety in bulk and store it. Btw, it's only a suggestion, not a rule! :)

I use natural clay. Low fire earthen ware clay to be more specific . This needs to be fired in an electric kiln to make it durable and usable . Look clay station or Clay Joy in Bangalore. Both are pottery studios and both provide firing facilities too.

Beads after drying,hole small aakunnu..hole idunna time crack veenu shape change aakunnu.pls Tel me the reason?

@nehagopinathpillai 3 жыл бұрын

Clay has a tendency to to shrink a little when it dries. It's common. When the moisture in the clay dries out, it shrinks a little. It shrinks a little more after firing. The average shrinkage rate in my clay is approx 8-12%. With regard to cracks, that could be due to quick drying or using hard clay. You can softening the clay by kneading it a few times. Then you can try making the bead. In the video i have showed how to make them. After cutting out the size, add a few drops of water and start making the bead. That way the clay would not dry fast. While making a hole you can apply a little oil on a refill and make the hole. Hope this helps.

@nehagopinathpillai 4 жыл бұрын

Add some water to your clay. Knead it first a few times. Let the clay become pliable. If you are finding it difficult to put a hole with a refill, try a tooth pick. Sometimes on a warmer weather your clay dries quickly. You can try doing then one by one instead of doing it batch wise.

While I am aware of people who try firing at home using crude methods, I don't suggest as the results are not as desired and its strength is a big question mark. Please don't use an equipment meant for food to fire clay. It's unhealthy and I don't think it'll work as the temperatures don't go beyond a point.
