What is it?

• Clay is made of very small (sand-sized) pieces of rock that stick together. 

• Clay can be found in abundance all around the world.

• There are 2 basic types of clay:• Kiln-Fired (red and white)

• Air-dry (white or colored)

• Air-dry clays are easier to shape with your hands.

• They are made of small pieces of earth or paper.

• With this kind of clay you can also add more pieces of clay to your project after it is completely dry!

•  Best of all this clay dries solid and you don't need a kiln to fire the piece dry.

• Cannot be glazed, only painted. To get the shine of a glaze you have to add a special shiny clear paint.

1. GREENWARE. When clay is wet, it is easy to mold and form. As it dries the water in the clay evaporates and the clay hardens.

2. KILN. Firing is the term for heating the clay in the kiln.

3. BISQUE. Clay which has been fired once, without glaze.

A Super HOT Oven!

The heat from the kiln causes the water to evaporate from the clay, and the clay becomes hard.
