when you bake or "fire" clay, it dries, and begins to melt, There are numerous complex chemical reactions that occure between the various subtances that make up the clay.

Depending on the type of clay and the temperature to which it is fired it may be called earthenware, stoneware or porcelain, which are all types of ceramic.
