THE HISTORY OF ARTISAN POTS

 In Ancient Times People Would Transport Water In

Handwoven Baskets

The Water Especially From Rivers Would Have Some Clay In It

As The Clay Dried Out It Would Take On The Shape Of The Basket

Eventually People Realized That These Clay Linings Could Be Used As Sturdy Containers

They Gathered Clay & Shaped It Then Baked It In The Sun Or Hot Ashes Sometimes Decorating Them With Primitive Tools

Thus The First Clay Pots & By Extension All Of

Pottery Was Born

The First Potter’s Wheel Is Believed To Have Come From Sumer In 3129 BC Although There Is Evidence That Points To Other Places Of Origin Precursors To The Wheel Started Appearing As Early As 4500 BC Though An Exact Date Is Likely Impossible That Said The Idea Of Using A Wheel To Assist 

In The Creation Of Pottery Was Shared By Many Cultures

Nowadays Pottery Is Heated Through The Use Of A Kiln & It’s Widely Accepted That The Ancient Egyptians Created The First Kilns Which They Lined With Bricks Made From Clay & Straw For Insulation They Were Also Among The First To Glaze Their Pottery Before Firing Much Like Their Modern Equivalent This Glaze Gave The Pottery  A Glass-Like Sheen & Texture That Made The Item Non-Porous
