Neolithic pottery

Neolithic Pottery: Unveiling the Revolution

The discovery of pottery, a revolutionary innovation of the Neolithic era, remains shrouded in the mysteries of ancient times.

Serendipitous Transformation: From Clay to Stone

It is believed that Neolithic communities stumbled upon an extraordinary discovery by chance: the transformation of clay into a stone-like substance when exposed to the heat of fire.

Though the exact circumstances of this discovery remain unknown, what is certain is that this material quickly spread across Europe, enabling the creation of objects impossible to shape with stone.

Evolution of the Ceramics Creation Process

The evolution of the ceramics creation process is fascinating. The soft mixture, molded into vase shapes and left to air dry, was subsequently subjected to firing in a specially designed kiln.

From Trench to Dome Oven: Structural Innovations

This kiln, initially a simple trench with a fire at the center and vases arranged at the sides, transformed over time into a raised dome-shaped structure capable of reaching high temperatures and maintaining heat for an extended period.

The Miracle of Firing: From Clay to Ceramics

Through this process, clay transformed into the marvel that is ceramics or terracotta, taking on a vibrant reddish hue after firing.

From "Coiling" Technique to the Potter's Wheel: Turning Point in Vessel Formation

The oldest method, known as "coiling," involved creating a clay cylinder rolled to form the base of the vessel, later shaped by hand.

However, this technique produced vessels with thick and irregular walls. The turning point towards creating thinner and more symmetrical vessels only came with the invention of the potter's wheel, attributed to the Sumerians around 3000 BCE.

From "Cardial Ware" to Painting: Evolution of Decorations

Ancient craftsmen adorned their early vessels by impressing marks on fresh clay, often using small shell-like cardium shells, hence the term "cardial ware."

Over time, decorations became more intricate, including geometric patterns such as triangles, spirals, straight or wavy lines.

Artistic Expression: Painting on Vessels

The art of decoration further evolved with the introduction of painting, applying natural pigments mixed with animal fats to the still-fresh vessel.

This progression marked a significant chapter in the history of ceramics, making it not only functional but also an artistic expression of extraordinary beauty.

Nerikomi (練り込み , lit. "kneading") is a contemporary Japanese term of the artistic technique for creating pottery agateware. Often referred to as “neriage”, nerikomi is a decorative process that involves stacking colored clays and then slicing through the cross section to reveal a pattern, which can then be used as an applied decoration. Nerikomi designs provide a wonderful way to work three dimensionally with patterns and images. The results reflect a combination of both careful planning and accidental surprise, plus it’s exciting work for those who love patterns and are drawn to the wet-clay stage of pottery making.’ Although marbling ceramic techniques were used in Egypt and China and through the Romans to the West, in Japan there was an explosion of it from about 1978–1995. There are a few pieces from the Momoyama period, and Edo period, as well as Mingei. https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/daily/ceramic-supplies/ceramic-colorants/creating-neriage-blocks-decorating-with-colored-clay-patterns/

Handbuit birdbath ir center piece I’ve made at my pottery club meet up! This is Lizella clay glazed in Panama Blue from @john.britt1 book. This glaze is wonderful and looks very different depending on the clay you use. I like how it looks on a red clay like this one. #pottery #lizellaclay #handmadepottery #ceramics #ceramica #potterylover #handbuiltpottery #potterytechniques #clayshare #coastaldecor https://www.instagram.com/p/BnqlX6HAWWQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e5ayf2vamf7m
