The art of pottery is one of the oldest skills known to the Indians. From time immemorial, lumps of clay were moulded by hand to form toys and deities of worship. The advent of the potter's wheel gave man the opportunity to make beautifully shaped pots for his personal use. Over time, this craft evolved into various specialized categories like simple clay pottery, glazed pottery, terracotta pottery, blue pottery, paper thin pottery, etc.which are being practiced in various parts of India today. Today, many schools of pottery are scattered in different parts of the state. The potteries as conventionally made by manually. Manual pottery makes has inherent defects like precision, quality, finish, consistency, low production etc.The skill of labour is the greatest concern of the industry. The mechanisation of the profile making operation is solution to such issues. For that purpose we have developed such mechanism in which, manual process converted into automated manual process from that, the mechanism of specific profile on earthen pot making is designed in this way with the help of that mechanism; it is possible to automate a skilled manual process which would avoid worker fatigue. Also the future scope for developing the generalized mechanism for any profile can be identified.
