Pottery is a decorative and functional art form in which clay is shaped and glazed to create utilitarian items like cups, bowls and vases. Its timeless appeal makes it a popular decor addition to modern homes and can complement an eclectic style as well as more formal furnishings. The color and texture of pottery can also help accentuate other elements in the room, such as natural plants or flowers. Keeping up with pottery trends can ensure that your home’s ceramic accents always stay on point.
A potter’s most basic tools include hands, but additional equipment is available to shape clay into a desired design. For example, a potter’s wheel is a type of turntable that can be powered with a stick or foot power or by a variable-speed electric motor. In a process called throwing, a solid ball of clay is placed on the center of the wheel-head and then pressed and squeezed into a hollow shape. This requires high skill and experience and is generally not reproducible by machines.
Other preparatory techniques are used to make a clay body suitable for shaping. This includes wedging, which is a mechanical method of mixing clay and water to eliminate air bubbles, and burnishing, which produces a surface that can survive firing. Glazing and fusing of powdered glass, or enameling, are also applied to pottery to give it color and durability.
There are many ways to promote your pottery business and sell your wares, including on ecommerce platforms like Etsy. Etsy charges a small fee to list an item but offers other perks to sellers that can help you attract customers and build your brand.
