Pottery is a form of visual arts encompassing the creation of objects, primarily functional or decorative, made from clay and other ceramic materials. It is often considered both a craft and an art form, involving techniques like molding, shaping, and firing. Pottery also intersects with print and graphic design, as designs are frequently applied to the surface of pottery objects, enhancing their aesthetic appeal. This process can involve various methods such as painting, stenciling, or digital printing. As a popular hobby, pottery provides a creative outlet for individuals to express their artistic abilities and create unique, handcrafted pieces.
