An Introduction to Clay & Ceramics

What is clay?

Clay = earth + water Silica - an essential ingredient in clay and glazes. When melted, becomes glass. Clay can also contain: Grog – ground up, fired clay or sand. Makes clay feel gritty. Iron oxide (red clay only) Other minerals

More basic clay vocabulary kiln - super hot oven where clay is fired cone - temperature at which clay or glaze needs to be fired. Lower numbers are hotter (i.e., cone 4 is hotter than cone 6) vitrifying / vitrification- clay particles melt together to become glass-like and less porous Earthenware - fires at relatively low temperature (cone 4-6, about degrees F). Porous when fired. (other kinds of clay include porcelain and stoneware)

Stages of Clay 1. Slip - watered down clay; muddy 2. Plastic - workable stage; can be recycled; can join to other pieces 3. Leather Hard - stiff and will hold its shape; join to other pieces; carve into; recycle 4. Greenware or bone dry; very fragile; can be recycled 5. Bisqueware - fired once in kiln; cannot be recycled; ready to be glazed 6. Glazeware - second fire-low fire; cannot be recycled

Silica dust is harmful when inhaled! Silicosis - causes swelling in lungs, shortness of breath. Severe cases may need lung transplant. Carcinogen - can cause cancer
