The glass in a frame. Commonly the window of a house or the glaze.
The word Glaze means any extra surface coating on a thing .....Like doughnut gets a soft sugar glaze ... while a clay pot gets a liquid glaze heated into a Hard glaze.....or the runner had a glaze of sweat on his face...... um Oh yes... glass too is known as glaze so too is the putty used to seal it into its frame....I can only assume they get this odd usage of the word because the glass is an extra coating on the building
Where can clay be found in Trinidad?
Clay can be found in various locations across Trinidad, such as Mayaro, Guayaguayare, and Cumaca.

What can be used to join plaster of Paris after it has broken?
Plaster of Paris can be joined back together using a mixture of fresh plaster and water. Apply the fresh plaster mixture to the broken edges, press them together, and then smooth out the surface for a seamless repair. Allow it to fully dry and then sand or paint as needed.
Did Carl Larsson ever work as a ceramics painter?
While Carl Larsson was primarily known as a painter and illustrator, he did work briefly as a ceramics painter early in his career. Larsson's ceramic works were influenced by his time in the French village of Grez-sur-Loing where he experimented with different art forms before focusing on painting.
Ceramic crawling is a glaze defect that occurs when the glaze pulls away from the surface of the ceramic during firing, leaving patches where the glaze did not adhere. This can happen due to poor glaze application, dust or oil contamination on the surface, or incompatible materials.
Where can you find a replacement glass bowl for a tart burner?
I have a client who works for the Yankee Candle store (in Tampa, FL). She told me if you go to the Yankee Candle store (mine's at my local shopping mall) and ask for a replacement bowl, they can usually give you one. They get shipments with broken tart burners but the burner bowls are still in tact so they save them. That's what I've done a few times I've broken my Yankee candle tart burner bowls. They're ceramic and they might not match in color to the one you broke, but at least you'll be able to use the tart burner again. If you don't have a local store like that, contact a few online stores that sell tart burners to see if they ever sell replacement bowls. Most don't, but it's worth asking anyway.
How do you explain the strength of ceramics in terms of molecular structure?
This site can explain everything pertaining to the strengths of ceramics, first an excerpt then the site:
Abstract The key features of the processes underlying the failure of ceramics are considered for a wide temperature range. The brittleness and high-temperature plasticity of ceramics are correlated with their crystal chemistry. The general issues related to the strength of ceramics are treated in terms of synergetics, which deals with the spatiotemporal ordering and self-organization in nonequilibrium systems. The strength of ceramics is shown to be governed by its structure on different scales-from atomic to macroscopic. The conclusion is drawn that, in the strict sense, strength is not a property of the material; rather it characterizes its quality.

Where should you NOT put glaze on a clay pot?
You should not put glaze on the bottom of a clay pot where it will come into direct contact with surfaces when placed down for firing. The glaze could cause the pot to stick to the kiln shelf during firing and result in damage to both the pot and the kiln.
Pottery fragments are broken pieces of pottery or ceramics that have been found at archaeological sites. These fragments can provide valuable information about the culture, technology, and trade of the people who created them. Archaeologists use pottery fragments to date sites and reconstruct ancient pottery-making techniques.
What is the history of clay pots?
Making clay pots began about 10,000 years ago probably in the Middle East. Early pots were made to be thrown away after one use, molded by an imprint of the fist. The first potters wheel is from 8000 to 1400 B.C. and allowed the potter to create even shapes.
Terra cotta (Italian: "baked earth") is a ceramic. Its uses include vessels, water & waste water pipes and surface embellishment in building construction. The term is also used to refer to items made out of this material and to its natural, brownish orange color.

What are functions of sculpture?
The function of sculpture is not to decorate but to integrate, not to entertain but to orientate man within the context of his universe.Sculpture inhabits actual space in all its dimensions, and by its own inherent structural logic is able to impress upon our imagination a sense of reality. Whether it be an integral part of an architectural structure or free standing in architectural space or among nature's forms its sets up an inter-relationship between itself and its surroundings. Like life its myriad views assume new aspects under varying conditions; like life it is capable of drawing upon itself new interpretations and transcending them. Since it lives in actual space it interacts with it, measures it and is measured by it. The structure, the density or the translucency of the material, the specific life the work is to live, the rhythms of the time, which engulf the sculptor, join in the interaction and set up relationships that exist between the component. parts of the work and the whole, between the whole and its surroundings.Sculpture is not an ersatz for man, beast, bird or any of these put together arbitrarily. Though it draws from nature structural principles, its functions are as totally different as its materials are. Transcending their physical properties, within the realm of our imagination, sculptured forms assume an aspect of the inter- dependence of all in the making of the ONE.
Sculpture is composed of concrete material interacting with thought, thought which draws its nourishment from experience with form. When concrete material and thought interact with space the resultant forms, in one way or another, recall either nature's forms or formalized aspects of nature's forms. Though sculptured forms live totally different lives from the motifs which they resemble, there is no such thing as non-representational, three dimensional form, and yet sculpture by its very nature is an abstraction. Like architecture it is an organic abstraction in concrete form. When sculpture is wed to the architectural structure or wed to nature's forms and the topography of the site - sculpture wed to any or all of these performs the function of integrating man spiritually to his universe.
