If you actually see the ceramic in real, you will need to write your experience seeing ceramics.
– Include the information on the piece/type of ware such as material, technique, glaze, shape, equipment used, functionality, thoughts behind.
– Include artist's background, location, cultural information, display location, special meaning.
– Include your personal thoughts and analysis on the piece/type of ware , examples that you want to compare and contrast with.
