1 Clay Introduction

2 Basic Vocabulary Clay: Particles of decomposed rock combined with water to create a plastic malleable body which is then fired in a kiln to fuse the particles back into a stone-like state. Mold: A form used for support and shaping clay. Ceramics: Objects made from earthy materials with the aid of heat, or the process of making these objects. Pottery: Originally a term for earthenware, now loosely used to refer to any type of ceramic ware, as well as to the workshop where it is made. Earthenware: Pottery that has been fired at a low temperature (below cone 2) and is porous and relatively soft. Usually red or brown in color. Used for domestic ware, glazed or unglazed.

3 Greenware Bisque ware Glaze ware Stages of Clay

4 Greenware Unfired pottery or sculpture. -Leather hard: the condition of a clay body when much of the moisture has evaporated and shrinkage has just ended, but the clay is not totally dry. Carving, burnishing or joining slabs are often done at this stage -Bone dry: Clay becomes fragile as moisture completely leaves the clay body, making it easily breakable. It is ready for the first firing

5 Bisque ware Bisque: Unglazed ceramic ware that has been fired at a low temperature to remove all moisture from the clay body and to make handling easier during glazing.

6 Glaze ware Fired glaze ware -Glaze: Any vitreous coating that has been melted onto a clay surface by the use of heat. Made of finely ground minerals that, when fired to a certain temperature, fuse into a glassy coating. Glazes may be matt or glossing, depending on their components -Underglaze: A special paint for clay that colors it, but does not produce a glassy-like surface. Used for detail work.

7 Foot: The base of a piece of pottery, usually left unglazed in high-fired ware on which the ware usually rest; occasionally glazed in low-fire, in which case the ware must be put on stilts to keep it from sticking to the shelf.

8 Wedging Any one of various methods of kneading a mass of clay to expel the air, get rid of lumps, and prepare a homogeneous material

9 Hand-building Slab: Using thin sheets of clay to build a structure, the sheets can be either rolled or stretched out. Coiling: Method of forming pottery or sculpture from rolls of clay melded together to create the Pinching: The process of starting with a ball of clay, inserting your thumb and pinching the clay between your thumb and fingers.

10 Score and Slip Slip: A mixture of clay and water often used to join to pieces of clay together. It can also be used for casting pottery or sculpture in molds. Score: To scratch the surface of the clay; aids in joining two pieces together

11 Throwing Forming objects on the potter's wheel using a clay body with plastic qualities Bat: A plaster, wood, or plastic disk or square slab on which a pot is thrown or is placed to dry when removed from the wheel. Also used when hand building. Centering: The act of aligning the clay on the potter's wheel in order to proceed with forming and shaping.

12 Banding Wheel A turntable that can be revolved with one hand to turn a piece of pottery or sculpture while decorating it with the other hand.

13 Firing Heating pottery or sculpture in a kiln or open fire to bring the clay or glaze to maturity. The temperature needed to mature a specific clay or glaze varies. Kiln: A furnace or oven built of heat resistant materials for firing pottery or sculpture, sometimes referred to as a Kil Cone: A pyrometric cone is a triangular shaped piece of ceramic materials carefully formulated to melt at a specific temperature. They are placed in the kiln to monitor and determine kiln temperature.

14 Low Fire: The range of firing of clays and glazes in which the kiln temperature reached is usually in the cone 015 to cone 1 range. Bisque Firing: The process of firing ware at a low temperature, usually from cone 010 to 05, to produce bisque ware. Glaze Firing: The firing during which glaze materials melt and form a vitreous coating on the clay body surface.
