Make Some Pottery. You don't have to have a pottery wheel or even a kiln. You can still make pottery. It could be tiles, sculpture, pinch pots, a coil bowl, or slab work. Whatever you like. A few potters even find and use local clay deposits. But probably the best way to get started is to take a class. Have some fun and be creative.

Excavations have shown that pottery attained a high level of development in Nigeria several hundred years ago. The tradition has been maintained and Nigerian pottery today ranks among the most artistic in the world.

The best known pottery centre in the country is Suleja in Niger State. In 1963, a Nigerian pottery worker, the Late Dr. Ladi Kwali, toured Great Britain and Europe to demonstrate the art of pottery-making in Nigeria. Products of the Pottery centre at Okigwe in Imo State, were widely distributed in Nigeria and abroad.
