The Pottery Process
Pottery begins with selecting and preparing clay, which is then shaped into various forms using different techniques like hand-building, wheel-throwing, or molding. After shaping, the clay is left to dry, and then it is fired in a kiln at high temperatures (often above 1,000°C or 1,800°F) to harden and transform into durable ceramics. This firing process causes the clay to undergo chemical changes, making it stronger, less porous, and more resistant to wear.

Earthenware

The earliest forms of pottery were made from clays that were fired at low temperatures, initially in pit-fires or in open bonfires. They were hand formed and undecorated. Earthenware can be fired as low as 600 °C, and is normally fired below 1200 °C.[9]
Because unglazed earthenware is porous, it has limited utility for the storage of liquids or as tableware. However, earthenware has had a continuous history from the Neolithic period to today. It can be made from a wide variety of clays, some of which fire to a buff, brown or black colour, with iron in the constituent minerals resulting in a reddish-brown. Reddish coloured varieties are called terracotta, especially when unglazed or used for sculpture. The development of ceramic glaze made impermeable pottery possible, improving the popularity and practicality of pottery vessels. Decoration has evolved and
developed through history.
