Ceramics

The McClung Museum is home to an exhibit showcasing the past of Native Tennesseans. The museum had information about the materials the Native Americans used to survive thousands of years ago. One of the materials they started to use in the late 1700's was ceramics. The Natives used ceramics mainly to make dishes. For the most part they made plates and bowls to be used for meals. Today ceramics are put to the same uses. We see ceramics being used mainly for dishes or vases just like the Native Americans did thousands of years ago.
