Learn more about pottery

Pottery is the art and craft of shaping and firing clay to create functional or decorative objects such as bowls, vases, plates, and sculptures. The process typically involves forming clay by hand, on a potter’s wheel, or with molds, then allowing it to dry before firing it in a kiln at high temperatures to harden it. Pottery can be glazed or left unglazed, and it often features artistic designs, textures, and colors. It is one of the oldest human crafts, with origins dating back thousands of years. Pottery combines creativity with technical skill, offering both a practical use and an expressive artistic outlet.
