Involves using slip. It
can also take various
forms, such as
high-pressure casting or
traditional slip-casting.
Coiling
A simper and traditional
hand-worked method of
making large containers,
using coils of clay would
around to gradually build up
the shape.
Extrusion
The process is
based around
a plastic clay
mixture being
forced through
a die.
This is and ideal
process for
products and
components of
the same
cress-sectional
shape.
Typical extruded
products include
bricks, pipes and
electrical conduits.
Firing
All ceramic
products need
to be fired or
sintered in order
to be useable.
The conditions and
firing temperature
required depend on
the material.
Some pieces need several firings,
beginning whit a biscuit-firing and
ending whit a firing for the glaze.
Acid etching
The model is created in a
transfer and soaked. Once the
transfer is applied to the tile,
which is immersed in acid, the
area covered is not attacked
by the acid to produce the
sallow bleeding.
Drying
The presence of
excessive
moisture during
firing results in a
damaged final
piece once a
ceramic product
has been made
using a wet
material, it can be
fired.
The process must be slow as
rapid water evaporation will
cause cracking and uneven
movement, which leads to
warping.
