Job Description
Professional pottery workers, often referred to as potters, are artisans who specialize in creating pottery using various techniques and materials. Here’s an overview of their key responsibilities and skills:
Clay Preparation: Potters prepare clay by kneading, wedging, and conditioning it to remove air bubbles and achieve the desired consistency.
Pottery Design and Shaping: Using techniques such as wheel throwing, hand-building, sculpting, and carving, potters shape the clay into functional and decorative objects.
Glazing and Decorating: Applying glazes and other surface treatments to enhance the appearance of pottery. This can involve brushwork, dipping, spraying, or wax resist techniques.
Kiln Firing: Loading pottery into kilns and overseeing the firing process to ensure durability and the desired aesthetic results.
Quality Control: Inspecting finished pottery for defects or flaws and ensuring that each piece meets quality standards.
Creativity and Artistic Skills: Potters need to have a strong sense of creativity, an appreciation for color, shape, and form, and the ability to solve design problems.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in using tools and equipment, such as potter’s wheels, kilns, and various hand tools, is essential.
Sales and Exhibition Skills: Selling products directly from a studio, market stalls, crafts fairs, online, or through galleries and craft shops.
Professional pottery workers contribute to the artistic landscape by creating unique and expressive pieces that reflect their artistic vision and craftsmanship. Their work can range from functional kitchenware and tableware to decorative sculptures and vessels
