Thanks for your grt work, w/o subscribing I do personally visit your channel every day and check... I was aware of all the techniques, personally i use slab method, but the uniform rolling coil is more challenging than the slab method. It can be done by using the flat surface thick plate or slab. Again that too needs lots of practice..... Looking forward to many more videos... Stay blessed!!!!

[@nehagopinathpillai]

Thanks and yes the coil method is a little more complicated when compared to the slab or the jhumka mould. Although coiling is an excellent technique in hand building which can result in some beautiful independent pieces that specialize in coils.

Once if beads is ready should we bake it after its dry or it can be stored without baking and fix it to any jumka then bake together with jumka and beads

Nope not needed. As you will eventually fire them once they are attached to the pendant or earrings.

[@srimathisss5219]

Super mam. Learn lot from u. How to identify good clay mam?

[@nehagopinathpillai]

Thank you! It's usually based on purpose. If it's for jewellery the fineness and elasticity needs to be checked. Storing clay also matters, store then in thick plastic bags and tightly close them. It helps retain the moisture so the clay won't dry out. Keep it away from sunlight or fan. Store it in a cool place.

[@nehagopinathpillai]

@@jignashaprajapati it wouldn't shrink that much! The average shrinkage percentage for the clay I use is about 8-12%. The pin should most likely remain intact post firing. After it's fired if you feel any of the beads are a bit loose, you can try to set it back in the pin with some E6000 or Araldite.

Madam, how long it will take for a bead or a slab or the parts to dry, n how does one understand if the parts r totally dries n ready for firing?

What are all the types of clay for tis jewellery making ? Madam

[@nehagopinathpillai]

Clay is broadly classified into porcelain, stoneware and earthenware clay. Earthen ware is low fire and that's what I use for terracotta jewellery making. Stoneware is more functional (ceramic plates, cups etc). They fire mid range and porcelain is the purest form of clay and also the most expensive.

Glad you like it. I don't think this brand sells in India. When I use live in Bangalore I bought my clay from a studio called Clay Joy owned by Mr Ramanuja. His studio sells clay as well as provides firing facilities for terracotta jewellery.

Size of the u pin

[@nehagopinathpillai]

Depends on the how big you make the ghungroo bead. Typically if the ghungroo bead is 5 mm, I would try to insert pin atleast 4mm inside and 2 mm would project outward. Hope this clarifies you Q. It isn't a standard size that fits all beads. If you make bigger size beads then the u-pin length would have to correspond to the size of the bead.

[@nehagopinathpillai]

You can make the stick beads and ghungroo beads. Clay Joy in Bangalore(Ramanuja sir's studio) sells stick beads and ghungroo beads too. You can check.

How to do these bead without any crack?

[@nehagopinathpillai]

You can make sure that your clay isn't dry. Spray some water is needed. Kneaded it a couple of times and that feels your clay become more pliable. Don't work under a fan!
