17 min - Use of Local Materials: Treasures in your Backyard Part 2 of 2
Welcome to Understanding Pottery, Chapter 11: Use of Local Materials: Treasures in your Backyard Part 2 of 2. Traditionally, potters used whatever clay, fuel, and other materials were locally available for their craft. Since the advent of technology and long-distance transportation, potters have gotten away from such materials in favor of more standardized, commercially available products. However, there is a growing interest in reconnecting with our past traditions and simpler raw materials. This is part 2 of 2 parts.
