NounWikipedia has an article on: CeramicsSingular ceramics Plural uncountable ceramics (uncountable) From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A ceramic is an inorganic, non-metallic solid prepared by the action of heat and subsequent cooling. Ceramic materials may have a crystalline or partly crystalline structure, or may be amorphous (e.g., a glass). Because most common ceramics are crystalline, the definition of ceramic is often restricted to inorganic crystalline materials, as opposed to the non-crystalline glasses. The earliest ceramics were pottery objects made from clay, either by itself or mixed with other materials. Ceramics now includes domestic, industrial and building products and art objects. In the 20th century new ceramic materials were developed for use in advanced ceramic engineering, for example, in semiconductors. The word ceramic comes from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramikos) meaning pottery, which is said to derive from the Indo-European word ker, meaning heat. Ceramic may be used as an adjective describing a material, product or process; or as a singular noun, or, more commonly, as a plural noun, ceramics. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How to apply clear glaze onto ceramics? Q. Hi, I'm new to ceramics and I hope I don't sound stupid, but here goes. I have some bisque fired pieces and I've applied some coloured underglazes to them. Do I : 1. Apply clear glaze over the underglaze and fire it. or 2. Fire the underglazed ceramics first and then apply clear glaze and fire it again? The instructions on the glaze containers didn't make it clear enough for me. Helpful answers appreciated. Note: I'm using Duncan Envision clear glaze and Hobby Colorobbia brand underglazes. Asked by Cindy C - Sun Apr 13 13:18:36 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'd fire the underglaze first, then the clear one. If you put them all together at once I expect they might run/react with each other. I hope the clear glaze can be fired at a lower temperature than the underglazes... Intriguing. Can you do a series of test pieces? Good luck!

I was wondering if I could join some kind of art or ceramics program on another campus or something else and have it count as high school credit Asked by excusemesir - Thu May 28 19:05:36 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments Where can I find a ceramics mold in the shape of a rhino?
Q. I'm looking for any type of mold with which I could create a 3-D rhino (not a plate; a sculpture) out of clay--either "true clay" (that you fire in a kiln) or polymer clay (like Sculpey). I'm NOT looking for sculptures themselves. Thanks! Asked by mashfanficchick - Mon Nov 27 10:09:41 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Use plaster and take a two part mold of a rhino. You can use a toy or make a sculpture of rhino then take a mold off of it.
