traditional pottery

Traditional pottery refers to the art of shaping and firing clay to create functional and decorative objects, such as bowls, jars, and tiles. This craft has been practiced for thousands of years across various cultures, utilizing local clay and techniques passed down through generations. Potters often hand-build or use a wheel to form their pieces, then decorate them with glazes or designs before firing them in a kiln, which hardens the clay. Traditional pottery not only serves practical purposes but also reflects cultural identity and artistic expression, making it both a craft and an important aspect of cultural heritage.
