Kiln- An oven used for baking ceramics or pottery. Temperature ranges from 1740 degrees to 2786 degrees Fahrenheit. Glaze- A liquid coating put on a piece of ceramic that produces a glassy surface when fired. Underglaze- A liquid coating applied to pottery that produces a “matte” surface. Wedging- The process of slamming clay to remove air bubbles and excess moisture. Ware- name for a ceramic piece.

Slip- Clay and water mixed together, to create a clay glue. Coil method- Rope like strands of clay rolled out then built up in layers. Slab method- Clay rolled out into flat plates then shapes can be cut out of them. Bisque- Ware that has been fired but not glazed. The bisque firing is the first firing. Clay- Decomposed granite type rocks; Substance that becomes glasslike and durable once fired.

Cones- measure the heat of the clay body and glaze during the firing of the kiln. Dry foot- The bottom of a piece that has been cleaned of all glaze before firing. Earthenware- A low fire clay that is usually red or brown. Fire- To heat in a kiln. Foot- the base of a ceramic piece. Kneading- working clay with the palms of your hands to work out air bubbles and establish consistency.

Leather hard- Clay that is firm enough to be handled but soft enough to be carved. A good state for building slab structures. Plasticity- Quality of clay that allows it to be manipulated but still maintain its shape. Terra-cotta- A brownish-orange earthenware clay. Ceramics- objects made from clay. Shrinkage- 10% while drying, 10% when fired. Clear coat- A coating that is applied to a piece of bisque ware that has been underglazed. Goes on pink but fired clear.

Scoring- cuts made in a piece of clay to help one piece of clay adhere to another. (eg. Muddy boot) Bone dry- completely dry clay, ready to be fired. This is also called greenware. Takes about 5 days. Air bubbles- Pockets of air trapped in a piece of work that can cause explosion. Relief- images that project from a background. Canvas mat- Surface on which to wedge clay.
