Pottery Style

Pottery styles are many and diverse. The minute a ceramist picks up a piece of clay to create a work of art, a decision must be made about its size, shape, color, function and decoration.

It is by making these individual choices that ceramics are created with a character all their own. They also vary depending on the individual styles of the designers. With so many different kinds of art, it shouldn't be difficult to find something you really like. All are unique, very beautiful to look at, and most provide functional purposes as well.

The following are websites covering these various styles, which range from general types (such as pots, and coiled pottery) to the abstract and designer pottery types. These are some of the best sites.
