Meanwhile, here are some pottery tips you may enjoy from Lakeside Pottery.
1. Some clays do not require a kiln, such as over bake, air dry, and polymer clays. Due to expense, they are best used for small items such as jewelry, ornaments, etc. The oven and air dry clays are similar in look and feel to normal clay. Polymer clay comes in many bright colors and can be made into beautiful designs which become plastic-like when fired.
2. The possibilities are endless for handbuilt ceramics. They do require a kiln. But otherwise the investment needed is very low. Clay itself is inexpensive. A rolling pin, newspapers or cloth, and other ordinary household items are all that are required. With a book on handbuilding, most anyone should be able to start making pieces on their own.3. Wheel throwing with standard clay will require a kiln. And once you are an experienced thrower you will undoubtedly want a large kiln, since you will produce pieces much more quickly than in handbuilding.
