Across
  1. 1. The heating of clay or glaze to a specific temperature.
  2. 3. A compound of decomposed and altered feldspathic rock consisting of various hydrated silicates of aluminum along with non-plastics, such as quartz, and organic material.
  3. 8. A decorative process by which a line is scratched through a layer of slip or glaze before firing to expose the clay body beneath. From the Italian, meaning “scratched out”.
  4. 9. A common method for measuring the temperature inside the kiln. They are made of a ceramic material which melts at known temperatures
  5. 11. A colored decoration applied on raw or bisque ware before the glaze is applied. NOT Shiny!!
  6. 13. Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer resin dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
  7. 15. Decoration technique where strips of moist or adhesive paper are adhered to the surface to resist application of slip or glaze.
  8. 17. Unfired clay objects (at any stage)
  9. 19. A technique of inlaying slip, underglaze, or even clay into a contrasting clay body, the main clay body of the pottery piece. This technique allows for extremely fine, intricate design work with hard, sharp edges that can be difficult to reliably replicate in any other way.
  10. 21. Making the clay more uniform in moisture and removing all air bubbles.
Down
  1. 2. A cycle during which glaze materials are heated sufficiently to melt and form a glassy surface coating when cooled.
  2. 4. The base of a ceramic piece.
  3. 5. First firing of clay to drive out chemically combined water and carbonaceous materials prior to glazing.
  4. 6. The condition of unfired clay that has no absorbed moisture other than natural humidity
  5. 7. The process of roughing up the clay surface where you intend to attach another piece of clay.
  6. 10. Clay that matures at a low temperature but remains porous.
  7. 12. The condition of raw clay ware when most of the moisture has evaporated leaving it still soft enough to be carved or joined to other pieces.
  8. 14. Another word for Mishima
  9. 16. A flat rolled out piece of clay, like cookie dough, which can be used soft or stiff to create different looks.
  10. 18. A furnace for firing ceramic products.
  11. 20. Rope-like roll of clay used in hand building.
  12. 22. A glass-like coating fusion bonded to a ceramic surface by heat.
