Ceramics is one of the oldest arts in human history, which has evolved from simple clay vessels to complex works…

Pottery is older than the wheel!

The oldest pottery found by archaeologists dates back to about 14,000 years B.C., while the first wheel did not appear until about 3,500 B.C. This means that humans mastered the art of working with clay and firing long before they invented the wheel!

One of the oldest ceramic artifacts is considered to be the “Venus from Dolní Vestonice” found in the Czech Republic and created about 29,000 years ago. It proves that pottery was used not only for utilitarian needs, but also for artistic and ritual purposes.
