June 24th 2022
When you think about ceramics and pottery, probably the first thing that comes to mind is that famous scene from the movie "Ghost". But aside from being in one of the most popular romantic movies of all time, pottery is also one of the oldest human activities. The art of shaping clay dates back to 10,000 years ago. Clay is a mixture of aluminum silicates, quartz, and other materials. When combined with water, the result is a plastic mass that keeps its form after drying. Many products, including tableware, bricks, and tiles, have been and continue to be made with clay. Ceramic is also an important artistic tradition in many countries in the Middle East, China, and the Americas.
