Pottery from Africa is very diverse, as there were many different cultures living in Africa.
Pottery from Nigeria was often black or dark brown, with no glaze. Artists carved in deep textures of lines, shapes, and dots. These were built using the coil-building technique.
Modern artists in Ghana are influenced by this traditional style. Their artwork is also black, without glaze, and has detailed textured designs.
In Northeastern Africa, artists made pottery that was light brown in color, with a smooth texture and reddish-brown glazed designs.
People in West Africa actually use clay to make huge buildings, some of which are still made and used in modern times!
