What is it called when you work with clay?
What it is called when you work with clay varies. You will usually see the art of making things out of clay called pottery or ceramics. Some people will use the phrasal verb "throwing pottery" to describe the process of producing something out of clay using a potter's wheel. Others may say "crafting" or simply "making" pottery or ceramics. Names for people who work with clay include potter, ceramicist and ceramic artist. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of pottery.
