  1. 2. The specific kiln temperature target used for our studio's bisque fire.
  2. 3. A specialized metal or wooden tool used to cut intricate patterns into leather-hard clay.
  3. 5. Pressing the clay particles firmly with a rib to prevent cracking during drying.
  4. 10. The joint or line where two pieces of clay or slabs have been attached together.
  5. 11. A sculptural technique where you build up a form by adding clay to the surface.
  6. 13. A kidney-shaped wooden, rubber, or metal tool used to smooth and compress clay walls.
  7. 19. The stage where clay is wet, easily molded, and manipulated without cracking.
  8. 20. The process of scratching crosshatched lines into clay before applying slip to join pieces.
  9. 21. The semi-dry stage of clay that feels like cold cheese and is best for carving.
  10. 22. A classic symmetrical vessel easily formed by making a pinch pot or throwing on the wheel.
  11. 24. A device that forces clay through a template die to produce uniform coils or handles.
  12. 25. A heavy machine with rollers used to press clay into flat, uniform sheets.
  13. 26. The natural reduction in a clay project's size as it loses moisture and dries.
  14. 27. A plastic-based paint that can absolutely never be placed inside a kiln.
  15. 31. A glass-forming liquid coating that melts and runs slightly to seal bisqueware.
  16. 32. Construction method that uses flat, even sheets of rolled-out clay.
  17. 33. The shiny, waterproof surface texture achieved after firing an overglaze.
  18. 34. Using a loop tool on the wheel to shave away excess clay from the bottom of a leather-hard pot.
  19. 38. A sharp, pointed tool used for scoring clay and drawing fine details.
  20. 40. The dangerous, toxic byproduct created if a student mistakenly fires acrylic paint.
Down
  1. 1. Unfired clay objects at any stage from plastic to bone dry.
  2. 4. A basic hand-building form made by squeezing clay between the thumb and fingers.
  3. 6. What trapped moisture in a damp piece of clay turns into, causing it to explode in the kiln.
  4. 7. The second firing where a glassy coating is fused to the ceramic surface.
  5. 8. The art of making objects from clay and baking them at high temperatures.
  6. 9. Creating ceramic forms without a wheel, using methods like pinch, coil, or slab.
  7. 12. A tool made of wire and handles used to slice clay chunks or remove pots from a wheel.
  8. 14. The high-temperature oven used to bake clay into permanent ceramics.
  9. 15. Construction method that relies on stacking long, snake-like ropes of clay.
  10. 16. The process of centering and shaping clay into symmetrical forms on a spinning wheel.
  11. 17. A tool with a metal loop at the end used for carving and trimming excess clay.
  12. 18. The non-shiny, flat surface texture characteristic of fired underglaze without a clear coat.
  13. 23. The crucial first step on the potter's wheel where clay is forced into perfect alignment.
  14. 28. The specific kiln temperature target used for our studio's glaze fire.
  15. 29. The element that must completely evaporate from the clay before it can be safely bisque fired.
  16. 30. Clay mixed with water to a creamy consistency used like glue to join pieces.
  17. 35. The completely dry, chalky, and highly fragile stage of greenware clay.
  18. 36. A matte decorative liquid that does not run or melt during firing, allowing crisp detail.
  19. 37. The absorbent state of bisqueware that allows liquid glaze to stick to its surface.
  20. 39. The very first firing that turns bone dry clay into porous ceramic.
