What is Pottery?
The term "Pottery" is used to describe the result of working clay into a vessel, a usable vessel. In certain artistic circles it also refers to work that may be less than functional and in the future, any artistic expression of clay will more than likely be called "Pottery". It wasn't always this way, in the past "Pottery" was a term reserved specifically for " a place where pots are made" ( like "Factory", "Bakery" )- in a broader sense included cups, saucers, plates and other various encooterments that made life, well... livable. ("Cuppery" never did flow off the tounge! ) The person that fashioned the clay was and is still called the "Potter".
