Description

A ceramic artist or potter is a person who makes objects from clay, such as bowls, cups, vases, and plates. They shape the clay by hand or using a potter’s wheel, then bake it in a kiln to make it hard. Ceramic artists often decorate their pieces with colors or patterns. Their work can be both practical and artistic.

Ancient Times: Pottery is one of the oldest human crafts, dating back thousands of years. Early potters created functional vessels for storing food and water, as well as decorative pieces.
Historical Development: Different cultures developed unique styles and techniques, such as glazing and firing, to improve durability and aesthetics.
Modern Era: Today, potters combine traditional craftsmanship with artistic expression, creating both functional pottery and fine art ceramics. The field includes studio artists, industrial ceramicists, and sculptors working with clay.
