IT IS ALSO VERY EASILY USED FOR CREATIVE EXPRESSION, SO YOU WILL SEE VESSEL WORK OR POTTERY, BUT POTTERY HAS EMERGED FROM A MORE TRADITIONAL TO A VERY EXPERIMENTAL SIZE SO YOU COULD SEE SOMETHING WITH STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS WHICH MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE THE CAPACITY TO HOLD WATER. YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE SCULPTURE. YOU WILL SEE THE ARCHITECTURE. YOU WILL ALSO SEE WORKS THAT ALMOST LOOK IF IT IS A PAINTING OR A WORK ON PAPER, BUT THE MATERIAL WILL BE CLAY.
