What do you need to make pottery?

You can either form the clay using the slab, coil, or pinch methods. These three methods are not done with the use of the pottery wheel, and in most cases a person's education about pottery making starts with these hand building processes. Pots can also be formed on the pottery wheel. The clay is positioned and stuck onto the wheel head. The clay is then moistened, turned, and formed with the guidance of the craftsman's hands.
