The process of making Bau Truc pottery is a deep connection with nature. The clay is taken from the Quao River, then kneaded, sun-dried and fired with firewood and straw. The artisan must go through many meticulous steps: from soaking the clay, mixing it with sand, trampling, kneading, shaping, to coating, scraping and polishing. After shaping, the product must also be sun-dried and fired. Bau Truc pottery has a warm Cham soil color, with motifs imbued with indigenous culture, looking both unique and sophisticated. With a long history, the people of Bau Truc village have persistently maintained the traditional craft, which, according to the people, was passed down from the owner and his wife, Ms. Long Tranh, through many historical changes, still intact.
