Ancient Greek Pottery Kevin J. Benoy

The Importance of Pottery Storage containers, cookware and dishes were as necessary for the Ancient Greeks as they are for us. Without much glass and with metal expensive, clay was a very handy material.

Clay For instance, red clay contains iron. Clay is inexpensive and readily available. The impurities in clay give it varying colours. For instance, red clay contains iron.

Clay It is easily worked and can be shaped as desired. Once fired it is quite strong and waterproof. It makes an ideal material for containers of all sorts.

Working With Clay The first step is to remove rocks, shells and other materials. This is done by mixing the clay with water. This allows the impurities to sink to the bottom of the mixing tub. The more often this is done, the smoother the clay becomes.

Throwing pots The clay is next kneaded and placed on a wheel. As the wheel spins, the potter shapes the clay and forms it into the desired shapes. Large pots are made in sections. Handles, feet and spouts were also fabricated separately. Sections are glued together with a layer of thin, watery, clay, known as a slip.

Decoration Once made, the entire pot is painted with a thin black slip. How this slip is applied will create an image. The entire object is then fired – in 3 stages.

Pottery Art Only men were allowed to make pots in Ancient Greece, though women were permitted to paint them. Pottery was frequently made by slaves. What survives is often not high art. Really valuable containers tended to be made of bronze, silver or gold. However, little of this survives because the metal was reused. Pottery fragments, having no real value, survive.

Pottery Art Despite it being a lesser form than metal-craft, some excellent creations exist. Greek pottery and painting evolved into a significant art form.

Form and Function Pots were shaped according to their function.
