Pottery
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Pottery is the art of ceramics. Traditionally, ceramics have been used to produce functional objects such as containers and later, for interior tiling.
Clay objects are fired in a kiln at high temperatures. The Ceramicist may then apply a glaze to the surface before firing the object again. By using a glaze, the surface becomes both decorative and water-tight. However, some contemporary ceramicists have chosen to produce objects which fall more closely into the categories of 3D Design or Sculpture and do not necessarily have a function beyond the decorative or the conceptual arts.
