Answer 1

Sketch your idea on paper to begin with. Think about what kind of pottery you want to create, meaning a bowl or cup or plate or a vase. Chose the clay and then chose your technique. It can be put together with a slab or spun on a potter's wheel. If some of your design is to carve into the clay piece, it is done at this stage.After drying and then the first "baking", the correct tern is firing in a kiln, you can then add color with chemicals that will react to the intense heat of the kiln. This is called glazing. Some people may also fire their pots one more time to add a shine. The technique for all of these steps can be learned and honed. Just remember, its called "art work" for a reason; it is work.
