to read or mix clay by cutting/rolling or pounding; removes air bubbles

clay which is dried somewhat but which is still damp enough to be joined to other

clay pieces that have not been fired

the condition of unfired clay when it is as dry as possible prior to firing

a furnace for firing clay products

a device for measuring heat in the kiln

pinching a ball of clay inside and out to form a cup

using snake like forms to build clay walls

rolling clay into flat forms, cutting and standing them up to create boxes,cylinders

a lever system for pushing clay into a variety of forms

forming clay on a potter's wheel

a mixture of clay and water used as a binder/glue

wet colored clay used to decorate

making a piece with a slab before it is leather hard and without corners

decorating clay by squeezing slip out of a bottle

painting slip on clay and drawing through the slip so that the clay body showed

using damp paper towels as a stencil with slip or glaze

a compound of minerals that is applied to the surface of greenware or bisque ware and that forms a glassy coating when fired

firing dried clay pieces for the first time in a kiln

firing bisque pieces that have been glazed

clays that are found in the ground at their source of origin

a hole in a kiln chamber, covered with a removable plug, through which one can observe the pyrometric cones, color or atmosphere inside the kiln

pottery fired to below cone2; usually red and porous

heat resistance posts, shelves, and other devices upon which ware is supported in a kiln during firing

a kiln mechanism that automatically turns off the kiln when a small pyrometric cone in it slumps

a refractory coating applied to kiln shelves to prevent excess glaze from fusing ware to the shelves

clay in this stage is wet, soft, workable. you can use it for throwing on the wheel and also hand building with coils, slabs and pinching

clay at this stage has begun drying the clay is damp but cannot be bent any longer

also know as "greenware". clay at this stage is fragile. almost all of the water has evaporated from the clay and it can feel dusty to the touch.Be careful handling clay at this stage as it will break very easily

clay at this stage has been fired once in the kiln.all of the water is gone from the clay it is at this stage that glaze i added onto the clay piece. clay at this stage is still fragile

clay at this stage has been fired twice and is at its maximum strength.functional work is ready to be used now
