    hi Geetha ,, your informations are very good. but what happens, in pressure cooker baking method it will not bake inside. The clay will remain unbaked inside so jewellery will brake very fast.using saw dust method is very good.

    Your post was very helpful Geetha.Thanks a ton for sharing it with all of us.
    I am also trying my hand at making terracotta jewellery at home :) Your tips have been really useful.I did the baking on a pan using sand for half hour and then used coconut shells and baked it for another half hour.
    Is pressure cooking it in a closed container safe??Will the jewellery turn black as it does when you bake it on stove?

    Regards,

    Indu

    Hi,
    Baking in pressure cooker is really helpful. thanks for the tip.
    Here is my doubt: i baked in pressure cooker for about 40 min in same procedure as u said. but please let me know how will i get to know that it is baked. since the color of jewelry did not change. so i am still confused weather it is baked or not.

    Regards,
    Anusha
