Training in Pottery: In this course we have trained 40 candidates during the year.
Pottery is made by forming a ceramic (often cley) body into objects of a desired shape and heating them to hight temperature (600-1600oC) in a bonfire, pit or kiln and induces reactions that led to permanent charges including increasing the strength and rigidity of the object. Much pottery is purely utilitarian, but much can also be regarded as ceramic art. A clay body can be decorated before or after firing.
