Various types of clay are used.Earthenware tends to have larger amount of iron oxide. It can't be fired to very high temperatures as the iron oxide would act as a flux and the pottery would sag


Stoneware can be fired to higher temperatures. It is opaque and fairly waterproof when fired.


Porcelain can also be fired to high temperatures, it vitrifies and becomes very hard, even glassy.


There are as many variations between clays as there are bags of clay, but most fall into these categories

It probably depends on what kind of clay you're using but when I did pottery in high school we made "slip" which was just basically very watered down clay. Then we scratched up the two slabs where we wanted them to join, put a coat of slip over the rough edges, and pushed them together.


What kind of pottery uses sedimentary rock?

Stoneware pottery often uses sedimentary rock as its primary material, particularly clay that has been derived from sedimentary deposits. This type of clay is fired at high temperatures, resulting in durable and non-porous pottery. Additionally, some earthenware pottery may incorporate sedimentary rock materials, though it is typically fired at lower temperatures and remains more porous. Overall, sedimentary rock plays a significant role in creating functional and artistic ceramic pieces.
