Pottery (workshop)
The pottery is the workshop where the ceramic creation process takes place, from the preparation of the clay to the final firing. In a well-organized pottery, there are specific areas for each stage: tables for modeling, pottery wheels for working with wet clay, shelves for drying the pieces, spaces for glazing and kilns for firing. This environment is designed to optimize the workflow and ensure that the pieces are handled properly at each stage of the process.
Historically, potteries have been at the core of ceramic production in communities around the world. Traditional potteries were often family workshops, while today they can also be spaces for education and artistic innovation.Interesting Fact
In ancient Rome, potteries were spaces not only for ceramic production, but also for cultural and economic exchange. Large workshops, known as figlinae, produced utilitarian and decorative ceramics on a large scale, supplying both local communities and the Empire's trade routes.Helpful Tip
Organize your pottery into separate functional areas to avoid cross-contamination between clay, glazes and tools. Always maintain a well-ventilated environment, as clay dust and glaze fumes can be harmful to health if not properly controlled.
