Unit 4: 3D Design with Clay

3. stage between plastic and bone dry when clay has dried, but may still be carved or joined to other pieces
5. a process in which excess material is cut away or removed, leaving the finished work
7. a property of clay that allows it to change shape without tearing or breaking
11. form a form created with the hand-building technique that involves shaping the clay into a broad, flat, thick piece
12. a process in which material is built up or added to create a form
16. a white high-fire clay body that is usually translucent
17. unfired pottery or sculpture
18. the form of the object does not allow for realistic function
19. an iron-bearing earthenware clay that fires to an earth red color
21. a structure built to fire clay at high temperatures

1. ceramic ware that has gone through a hi-fire coated with glass; clay in its final stage that is food-safe
2. pot a form created with the hand-building technique of squeezing the clay, usually between the fingers and thumb
4. glazed pottery that remains porous when fired at low temperatures
5. a fluid suspension of clay in water used in joining clay pieces and for surface decoration
6. an earthy material that is plastic when moist but hard when fired, that is composed mainly of fine particles of hydrous aluminum silicates and other minerals, and that is used for brick, tile, and pottery
8. dense, non-porous, hard pottery that matures from 2200*-2400*
9. ceramic ware that has gone through the first firing at a relatively low temperature and still maintains its porous state
10. the form of the object should primarily relate to its intended function
13. a coating of glass that is fused to the surface of a ceramic piece
14. crushed fired clay used as an additive to clay body to reduce shrinkage
15. stage of drying when moisture in the clay body has evaporated so the clay surface no longer feels cold
20. form a form created with the hand-building technique of attaching rolls of clay together
