Q.7 Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the given (10)
questions.
Making pottery on the potter’s wheel is called ‘throwing’. The thrower is a
very skillful workman. But there is another method of shaping articles out
of clay, ‘moulding’. A plaster mould is made and the clay is pressed into
it. This is a quicker and less difficult way to make things like handles, but
all the most beautiful pottery is thrown. When a piece of pottery is taken
off the wheel, it is put aside to dry, after which a design may be painted
on it with special colours that will stand great heat; it is then ready to be
fired. This is done in a large oven or kiln. The pieces of pottery are
placed in earthenware tubs called ‘saggers’ so that the flames cannot
touch the pots.
Questions:
(a) What is ‘throwing’?
(b) What is the other method of shaping articles?
(c) What is the advantage of ‘moulding’?
(d) How does the potter make designs on the pieces of pottery?
(e) How are the pieces of pottery baked in fire?

What wealth the show to me had brought.
OR
(ii) And if you've both, well then I'm sure
You ought to sing the whole day long;

With these to make divine your song.

When angels talk in Heaven above,
There are no words more simply sweet
Than Home and Love.
