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 Clay used: Laguna red low fire earthen ware clay without grog. Firing (Bisque) at cone 06.
