You know, pottery, statuary, etc.

Yes, but do people make this stuff or paint it? If you mean decorating already made stuff, I have - a lot, but plaster and polymer stuff is what I did. Have not done greenware since high school because I do not have access to a kiln.

well, both....i learned to pour bisque several years ago but haven't been back since. luckily, i do have access to a kiln but it's at a local craft shop. i've never worked in plaster. have done clay things in high school. and have never used a potter's wheel.

There is a real art to pouring bisque. I have watched a friend who was quite accomplished at the art doing it. Fascinating! Have worked in resin...that is interesting stuff which gives incredible details.
