Özet:

Ceramic, with its raw material clay, which is all sorts of objects obtained by shaping with various methods, baking, glazing or not glazing, has been the material of many civilizations within the historical process. While it was originally produced functionally for containers for use and religious beliefs, it is a material of utmost importance at every stage of our lives in different structures from the ornamentation of architectural buildings to pottery and an artistic expression with the technology developing over time. The lining used to decorate ceramic surfaces is amongst the oldest decoration techniques. When the history of the linings prepared by mixing the clay with water is examined, it is observed that red linings have been used on ceramic surfaces in the Neolithic age. Pottery, one of our traditional arts, has always existed in the Anatolian lands where we live until today and reflected the culture of the region where it is produced. Güzelyurt pottery, which is the subject of this study, endeavors to continue its existence from the Chalcolithic age to the present day. According to the archaeological studies conducted in the region with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Istanbul University, ceramic finds are dated to the Chalcolithic age. Güzelyurt is a region where Greeks and Turks lived together before the population exchange. Pottery, which was developed by Greek masters before the population exchange, was continued by Turkish masters by learning from Greek masters at that time and traditional pottery continued following the population exchange. Today, it is applied in Güzelyurt pottery by mixing with clays taken from different regions. The clays used in Güzelyurt pottery have previously been examined for their usability as colorants in raw glaze. As a continuation of the study, in this study, experimental research has been conducted on the usability of Güzelyurt clay in ceramic linings.
