What is technique?
Technique is basically just a way of doing something like a method or a trick someone uses to get a specific result. if you're drawing a picture, shading to show depth is a technique. If you're writing, using a metaphor is a technique. Even the way you tie your shoes is a technique. It’s just the "how" behind getting something done, whether it's in art, sports, cooking, writing and it is the same in ceramics, technique is just the specific way you work with clay to shape, decorate, or finish your piece. For example, pinch, slab work, wheel throwing, coiling, sticking clay together with slip, glazing.
