As hard as it may be to imagine, the pottery wheel is an ancient artifact. This groundbreaking development in the world of ceramic arts may have been invented in Mesopotamia as early as 3,500 BCE. Sure, these early pottery throwing devices were more akin to turning tables for easier coiling pottery, but they changed the game either way. Today, wheel throwing is one of the main techniques taught in pottery classes. Using a wheel is essential for creating vases, mugs, bowls, plates and other beautiful handmade clay artworks.
