No. Ceramic is the word used to describe an earthenware product. Earthenware (pots, bowls, jugs, ect) is generally made from clay, although there are other materials with similar properties. In more advanced technology, the word ceramic is more widely used and does not always refer to a product made from such materials. In such technology, "Ceramic" often means a composite of polymers. The "tiles" on the space shuttle, which stop it from overheating when it re-enters the earths atmosphere are "ceramic", but that does not mean they are made from clay. Clay, itself is not a mineral per-se`, but rather it is COMPOSED of minerals.
