Abstract

The profession of pottery has been an important cultural heritage and craft in Anatolia since the Neolithic Period. Pottery has a wide usage area and product range as an indispensable material obtained as a result of baking and producing clay for millennia. This craft, which responds to the ever-changing needs of societies, continues to exist today, but is rapidly diminishing in some regions.
