People have been making pottery bowls, figures and other clay ware for centuries. Pottery vessels created to carry food or water date back as far as 10,000 BCE in Japan and North Africa, and were originally hand built and fired in bonfires. The potter's wheel was developed around 6,000 BCE in Mesopotamia and completely revolutionized pottery production. Made from sand, grit, crushed shell or other crushed vessels, pottery clay could be be molded by adding water. Clay bowls, cups, plates and vases are then fired in a kiln to create a permanent change in the clay, increasing strength and hardness.
In this free video series our expert potter will demonstrate how to make lids, handles and spouts for your pottery containers. If you have already learned how to make cups, vases and pitchers on the pottery wheel and want to add an extra flair, let our expert show you how to create the perfect addition to your clay vessels.
