The stages of pottery making

The stages of pottery making and its development:

The pottery industry spread thousands of years ago in many countries and gained a very great reputation and became a profession for many people, as the formation of clay and its transformation into masterpieces became an important matter and a distinct popular heritage.

There are many countries in the Arab world that manufacture pottery in multiple shapes and wonderful colors. The city of Al-Ahsa in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the city of Rashaya in Lebanon are distinguished by the pottery industry and its mastery to the fullest.

Within the Arab Republic of Egypt, we find many rural areas and old villages that work in this industry and give it a very large amount of attention, and therefore it is an important industry and a source of income for many people.

Pottery uses:

Pottery has many different uses. Groups of vases and antiques are made of pottery, painted in different colors, and decorated with a set of inscriptions and drawings to give the house a different look and a wonderful classic touch.

Pottery is also used to make pots and jugs that are used to drink water, as pottery works to keep the degree of cold for very long periods without the need to put water inside the refrigerator.

Pottery is also included in the work of the water jar, which many people put in front of shops and on the roads with the aim of watering passers-by and obtaining wages.

The uses of pottery do not stop at a certain limit. It is still in constant development, despite the technological development that has taken place. However, pottery has retained its position with many people and in a large number of countries and is still made until the present time.
