Knead clay
with the palms
of your hands
to remove air bubbles which cause ceramics to explode
in the kiln.

Underglazing Greenware
Brush on underglaze for
detailed designs.
It is dripless
and does not crack. After bisque firing,
It remains the color brush on clear
it appears before firing. glaze to waterproof.

Firing ceramics in the kiln
A kiln is an oven that heats clay
to a high temperature
to remove all moisture from ceramics.
This makes ceramics more durable
and stable.
![Page 18: Ceramics. Potters create vessels What are vessels? Vessel: a container (as a cask, bottle, kettle, cup, or bowl) for holding something.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c905503460f9494aa21/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Glazing Bisqueware
Brush three layers of glaze onto your bisqueware or dip it once.
When dry, wipe all glaze from the bottom so it will not stick the kiln shelf.
You may etch designs into the glaze so bisqueware shows through.
Add clear glaze as
a final waterproof coat.

Reclaiming clayReclaiming clay is the process to make hardened
clay plastic (wet clay) again.
It is not possible to reclaim fired clay.
Clay may be reclaimed indefinitely.
Just add hardened clay to the reclaim bucket.The added water will soften the clay and it can be
reused after some drying. The liquid clay in the reclaim bucket is slip.

Joining Clay in the Leatherhard Stage
Score (make velcro)Score (on other piece too)Wet (use a little slip)Wiggle (push the pieces
together)Smooth!!! (the join should be
invisible)
