Pottery originated before the Neolithic period, with ceramic objects like the Venus of Dolni Vestonice figurine discovered dated back to 29,000–25,000 BC.
The word ceramic is coming from a place called Kerameikos, the potter’s quarter in the ancient Greece.
This form of art lies between sculpture and painting and has been part of culture all over the world since prehistoric times.
The main material used by potters is clay, which originates from silicium.
