Before kilns were invented, how did they make pottery in ancient times?
I'm writing a paper on a terracota vase made in ancient Greece. Does anyone know how they made pottery then? Did they just hold it over fire to heat it ?
The pots were buried in the ashes of a fire. Some potters still use this method today for authenticity.
