Pottery Wheels in Ceramic Art

Abstract

With the use of pottery wheel which is a turning point in Ceramic Art, the speed of ceramic production and also the quality of the products is increased. This increase and the development has been taken long period. In this period the development of pottery wheel is nourished from the technic and technologic opportunities and it became more functional and prevalent.The primitive and developed types of pottery wheel could be seen also today, which is the basic tool of traditional and industrial production. This situation is closely related with the tradition, habit and also the culture. In the extent of this study the pottery wheels which are used in ceramic shaping (with hand, foot, treadle, and electric) according to the working principles will be disscussed with the view of formal and intercultural distinctions. And also pottery wheels which are in use today will be disscussed
