The products obtained from the soil, which humanity has brought from the earliest times by never leaving it and developing it until today, find more use today.
The new state of the soil by re-kneading it with water and fire has preserved its place in every coming age. The ability to shape the soil provided both convenience and health in daily use and an expression space for art.
The area of use of the soil, which entered people’s lives thousands of years ago as simple daily items such as pottery and pottery, has expanded over a long period of time and by increasing its diversity, elegance and quality in certain geographies.
In the beginning, the soil, which entered our lives only by meeting a need for use, gained a soul with the addition of art to the water and fire that shaped it. After this contribution, it has become elegant. The feature that the artists added to this unity with the power of expression made the soil also the mother that gave birth to art.
Soil, which enters our daily lives by directly reflecting its color, texture and softness at the very beginning, accompanies us in almost every place by being reinterpreted with both elegance and art in dozens of areas of use as ceramics and porcelain over the centuries.
When we think about it, we can start with examples such as mugs, cups, plates, tiles and see the width of usage areas such as kitchen, bathroom, living room, office.
After masterfully crafted earth is combined with fire, water and art, an elegant mug, a cup is placed in our hands as plates, vases, tiles and candle holders in our homes, offices and classical spaces.
When we take a cup or a pitcher or a vase in our hands, we feel that this object, which is a part of the earth, is kneaded with water, inspired by art and cooked with fire. This gives us pleasure. Because the coffee we will drink from such a mug, the food we will eat from such a plate, and the decoration of our environment with such a vase increases the quality and value of all these. It vanishes all mediocrity.
Maybe it is because of our closeness with the soil that a coffee is so meaningful and delicious to us. A tea gives us the feeling of close friends.
We put these ceramic ornaments, which we borrowed from the soil with its thousands of years of history and the art it carries, in the corner of our room.

This should be in art books also. I believe i could’ve learned much more than i did if the narrator was the writer of this blog.
