Non Sanded grout can be used in any size grout joint but is ideal in smaller joints usually up to 1/4" The main draw back to using unsanded grout in larger joints is that it may crack over time. If you are unwilling to remove all the grout and use a sanded grout, it is best to make sure the grout is cured and sealed properly to limit and minimize cracking.

How do you make ceramic sculptures?

Ceramic sculptures are made using "slip" a ceramic liquid that is poured into a plaster mold. It sets for a period of 12-20 hours. Then the mold is opened and the piece has to dry for another 24 hrs. The piece is then "cleaned" (scraped and sanded) and is placed in a kiln to be baked at a high temperature to be hardened into a ceramic piece. Glaze or paint can be applied after the item has cooled.

What is the difference between sanded and non-sanded grout?

The obvious answer is sanded grout has sand. But the in depth answer has many differences. Sanded grout which is the most common, can be used in a grout joint from 1/8" to 1/2" (and larger but check the grout). Sanded grout scratches many tile like glass.
