Introduction

The study of cross-cultural influences in ceramic traditions is a fascinating area of research that explores the ways in which different cultures have influenced and been influenced by each other in the production of ceramics. Ceramics have been an integral part of human culture for thousands of years, with each culture developing its unique techniques, styles, and aesthetics. However, with increasing globalization and cultural exchange, the boundaries between different ceramic traditions have become increasingly blurred, leading to a rich tapestry of cross-cultural influences.

This project aims to explore the various ways in which cross-cultural influences have shaped ceramic traditions around the world. By examining the historical, social, and artistic factors that have contributed to these influences, we can gain a deeper understanding of how ceramics have evolved and transformed over time. Through this research, we hope to shed light on the interconnected nature of human culture and the ways in which ceramics have served as a medium for cultural exchange and expression.
