Decoration

There are many techniques to decorate pots with most techniques involving either slip (liquid clay) or glaze. Slip techniques can involve sgraffito, freehand brushing, painting, spattering, flicking, inlaying, sponging, paper resist, and many others. There’s lots of opportunity for creativity and invention.
