Pottery: Present and Future

For centuries, pottery goods have provided vital resources for many peoples. However, with the passing of time, new societies emerged, with changing needs, and traditional potters have worked with new materials and new production models. These changes have also affected pottery studios and brickyards, where the traditional machines have given way, in many cases, to new kilns and wheels that make day-to-day work easier. Similarly, pottery craftsmen, whilst continuing to model and fire their work as they have always done, well aware of the competition posed by new markets, have adapted to the needs of today’s society, creating modern pieces with something for everyone. These new models have also signified progress in art, as contemporary artistic representations and the latest in decorative trends have come along way since the first prehistoric clay figures.
