Welcome to the Pottery Place. The potter is shaping mugs, plates, bowls, and other pottery from a lump of clay. After firing this greenware in the kiln, she will decorate each piece with colored glazes and designs. The potter will fire these pieces once again to make beautiful, finished pottery. Visit behind the scenes and learn all about the special tools and skills needed for the traditional craft of pottery making. Step-by-step instructions and clay-spattered watercolors describe the process from start to finish.
