What is clay? Clay is a product that comes from the Earth that
when heated will solidify.
Geologically, clay comes from decomposed rock. It is typically carried by water and settles together in a particular area where it is mined.
Chemically, clay is a combination of Alumina, Silica, and water
Physically, clay’s crystal structure is that of tiny sheets with water between them. The sheets are held together by suction.

Stages of clay Plastic: Clay is moist and ready to
use
Leather hard: condition of raw clay where it has lost most of it’s moisture, but it can still be joined or carved.
Bone dry: clay has completely lost it’s moisture and is ready to be fired.
Greenware: pottery that has not been fired
Bisqueware (bisque): unglazed, white ceramic ware. This has been fired in the kiln only once.

Glaze Glaze: a layer of coating
that produces color on ceramic pieces
It makes the clay water proof and usually food safe
Made up of clay, glass, metals, and water
Can be brushed, poured or sprayed on

Fire Heating the dry clay to a
temperature where the clay structure changes and produces a hard, permanent new clay structure.
Must be completely dry and free of air bubbles.
Our clay will heat to 2,000 degrees.
