Handbuilding
Most of our ceramic pieces have been made by 'handbuilding' this is
creating ceramic pieces using only the hands and simple tools as opposed
to the potter’s wheel.
Ceramic
The word “ceramic” is traced to the Greek term Keramos,
meaning pottery or potter. Ceramics are defined as products made from
inorganic, non-metallic materials with a crystalline structure, usually
processed at a high temperature at some time during their manufacture.
Clay
the basic material for all ceramic ware is clay, a soft earth that
is plastic, or may be molded with the hands, consisting of hydrated
silicates of aluminum. It is the result of the wearing down and decomposition,
in part, of feldspathic rocks containing aluminous minerals, such
as granite.
Glaze
A glassy coating fused with a ceramic body by firing, creating a water-tight
surface. The glaze consists of silica, stabilizers (alumina) and various
fluxes, the latter added to lower the required melting temperature.
