Art, art ,art and art




      My favorite kind of art is the pottery (hand craft ceramic tableware).
The potter's wheel was probably invented in Mesopotamia by the 4th millennium BC [wikipedia.org]. The potter's wheel consists of two wooden discs mounted at both ends on a vertical wooden axle. The upper disk is smaller and is used to put the clay on top of it. The bottom one is bigger and heavier, it is made of oak, serves as a flywheel and drive axle of the upper disc. It is powered by foot. I like that kind of art, because there are so many different and the same time unique tableware. There are still places, as regional museums, where you can take a class. In that class you can make your unique shape of tableware and then to decorate with different colors.
      That kind of art is still saved and there are people, who are collecting then in their unique collections. Pottery for tableware and vases has two main parts- first to make/create the tableware, to backed it and second to decorate, to paint in unique color combination. The material used for that kind of ceramics tableware is clay. It is formed into products used not only for tableware and also used in the wall decoration, medicine and science. Pottery is one of the oldest crafts in Bulgarian Lands. It inherited the traditions of the ancient Thracian ceramics.
