Many people love ceramics, cannot imagine their home without cozy clay things, so the pottery business is an idea that can generate income. Clay vases, flower pots, dishes, souvenirs are not only beautiful, but also environmentally friendly.

Pottery has been valuable since ancient times. But first, products were molded from animal droppings, while clay was used as a gluing element. Several millennia passed before humans realized that clay itself is an excellent material for modeling.
The first clay products were imperfect in shape, as they were molded by hand. And only the invention of the potter's wheel turned the craft into art: the products acquired symmetry, began to look neat. And with the advent of the kiln, ceramics became durable and waterproof.

Pottery has long been considered a female occupation. It was only when the potter's wheel was created that the men started to make clay products. Potters began to unite in workshops, and ceramics became even more widespread.
Clay was mainly used to make dishes and household utensils: pots, mugs, pans. Often toys were made from a pliable material.

New materials replaced archaic clay, but over time, the hostesses saw the advantages of pottery:

• resistance to mechanical damage;
• heat resistance - does not deteriorate at high and low temperatures;
• clay does not emit impurities and odors when storing products;
• food does not burn during cooking;
• insects do not start in cereals and flour, etc.
• It is interesting that the technology has practically not changed for many centuries, despite new devices and mechanisms for work.

The pottery workshop can be a good start for the development of different areas of the ceramic business:

• production of products in batches or to order;
• production of souvenir products;
• teaching skills, opening schools or studios with programs for different ages of students;
• organization of workshops, where everyone can try to do simple things with their own hands;
