What is pottery?

How to make pottery?
Using clay, you create your own object which includes sufficient moisture content.
After the object is shaped to desired form, it is fired in the kiln.  Mineral components of clay body will undergo chemical changes that will change the color of the clay.
A glaze is applied to decorate the object in several ways.  The object is “grazed fired” to make glaze materials melt to adhere to the object,  then complete.
