Clay often contains silica, and sometimes quite a high proportion of a clay is silica minerals. It also ususally contains alumina and a variety of other minerals. The particular combination of minerals is what gives different types of clay their indivdual properties.

Can you melt glass beads?
Fire the clay like glass, not clay. The problem with melting glass on clay is the coefficient is different. Glass will craze, (crackle) on the clay. If you want the glass to stay on the clay use high fire clay and fire it to bisque first. The second firing with the glass on it should be fired on a schedule that is suitable for the glass. You can not simply fire the glass up to it's melting temperature then allow it to cool without controlling the cooling rate. You may want the rate to be 60ºF/hour to cool depending on the type of glass you are using.

What is difference between ceramics and glass ceramics?
A glass kiln has heating elements on the top, as opposed to the ceramic kiln which has the heating elements around the sides. The glass kiln has molds for the glass to form to and the top heating elements aid in this sense. It's not the element placement as much as the program used. A glass kiln needs to go down slowly for annealing.
What is the Difference between glass and ceramics?
Technically, glass is a kind of ceramic, but when most people talk about ceramics, they mean clay that has been made very hot to cause the particles to bond together, leaving little spaces between them. During this process, the crystal structure of the clay does not change, and the particles do not actually melt. Common silicate glass is made of silicon dioxide and some other minerals, and the process melts these minerals together into a non-crystalline structure. Silicate glass can be transparent, but clay ceramics are not. Ceramics that are not glazed or otherwise treated to make them waterproof can also absorb gas or liquid (like water) into the spaces between crystals.
