Across
- 2. A mound of sand/clay is gently indented to allow molten glass to fill the indent and create the desired shape.
- 5. Placing dry clay powder into a hydraulic press to apply pressure and mold it into a shape.
- 6. A mix of clay and water
- 8. Filling a mold with powdered clay, then applying pressure to compact it into shape.
- 9. Molten glass is injected with compressed air to create a hollow glass shape.
- 10. Process involves investing wax into a mold, which is then removed to allow molten glass to fill the mold and take the desired shape.
- 13. Grinding glass into a fine powder and mixing it with paste, before incorporating a fluxing medium to help melt the glass.
- 14. Similar to a ram pressing process, but with a heating implement, and is used with glass.
Down
- 1. Pressing a billet of clay through a die or mold to create a new product for use in clay forming.
- 3. Heat glass to a high temperature in a tank for use in blow molding.
- 4. Involves using mechanical methods to mimic traditional wheel throwing techniques for the mass production of simple ceramic objects.
- 6. slip is allowed to dry in the mold until it forms a hollow shape, with any excess being poured out.
- 7. Placing wet clay into an open mold and removing moisture by vacuuming it out. The piece is then taken out by applying pressure to one side of the piece.
- 11. Applying a slurry evenly on a surface to create a thin layer, allowing it to dry, and then collecting it for use.
- 12. The process involves fusing nearly pure silica sand at high temperatures of 4000 Fahrenheit in specialized ovens, followed by rapid cooling.
