Secondly, pinch off a ball of paper clay one-sixth of the size of the powder mixture. Make slip by dissolving the clay in water. It should make a thick milky liquid.
Thirdly, mix and knead the mixture. If it is too crumbly, add slip. If it is too wet, allow it to dry for a bit. Find a mold in stones shaped, and place the mixture into the desired shape and set it to dry in a warm place avoid direct sunlight or extreme heat.
