The river coast has long been famous for its rich deposits of high-quality red clay. Therefore, the Oyat Veps had no shortage of household utensils. They sculpted everything: pots, bowls, cups, toys, and so on. They were engaged in modeling in their free time, more often in winter. Moreover, the whole family was involved in pottery: women kneaded clay, men molded and fired vessels, and children molded small parts to products.
