 Amphora- a storage jar having an egg-shaped body, a foot and two handles, each attached at the neck and shoulders of the jar.  Hydria-A large jug used to carry water.  Early vases of the Archaic period were of red clay with black figures and decorations painted on them  These paintings portrayed a story or narrative (mythological or daily life)

 Black figure decoration- painter used slip to silhouette figures against the red background  Red figure decoration- red figures stand out against a black background (figures are bare)  Exekias - The Suicide of Ajax – black figure decoration - Amphora BCE - 27”  Depicts a legend from the Trojan War.

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. Coil- a hand method of forming pottery by building up the walls with ropelike rolls of clay and then smoothing over the joints Slip-A thick and creamy mixture of clay and water used to join clay parts together or to decorate the surface. It is applied before firing, when the clay is still wet. Score- Roughing up the surface of clay where two pieces will be attached.

Wedging-Method of kneading clay to make it homogenous; ridding the clay of all air pockets. Kiln - a furnace made of refractory clay materials for firing ceramic products Glaze- A glassy coating that has been melted onto a ceramic surface. Sgraffito - decoration scratched or inscribed into the layers of the surface of clay while still soft. Clay tools- Needle tool, loop tools, sponge, wire cutter, rib (wooden and metal), blenging tool.

1. Slip--watered down clay in a muddy form 2. Plastic--workable stage; molding stage; can recycle; can join to other pieces 3. Leather-hard--stiff and will hold its shape; join to other pieces; carve into; recycle 4. Greenware--bone dry; can be carved into; very fragile; can recycle 5. Bisqueware--fired once in kiln; can not be recycled; glazing stage 6. Earthenware (Glazeware)--second fire- low fire; can not be recycled
