craft pottery

Craft pottery is functional or decorative ceramic ware created by skilled artisans who shape clay through methods like hand-building or wheel-throwing. It involves designing, shaping, and firing clay at high temperatures to produce durable, often artistic pieces. Unlike mass-produced ceramics, craft pottery emphasizes craftsmanship, creativity, and individuality, often showcasing unique patterns, textures, and glazes. This traditional craft blends artistry with practicality, serving purposes from everyday use to decorative display, and reflects cultural heritage and personal expression.
