Ceramics and Pottery

A large rectangle of baked clay could be a tile. Alternatively, if the rectangle is expanded into the third dimention, it could be a brick. However, different types of clay, fired at different temperatures, would produce very different products.

Would you drink a glass of water that was brown or green with little creatures swimming in it? Water treatment includes taste & order control as well as making it bacteria free and clear and filters remove the mystery materials. (iron, flock, sediment)

Clay-made objects have been found dating back up to 26 000BC, so someone around that time must have discovered clay could be molded when wet, and by letting it dry it would harden but maintaining its form.

Since clay is a ceramic, one could say that's when ceramics were invented. Though new kinds of ceramics are being invented everyday, but the first of the first was probably at that time.

Because Tree-ear is kind of afraid, he thinks that if he tell Min about Kang's new pottery technique, it means that he's stealing Kang's idea

Brass does not fire... it melts.

Whether brass can survive a kiln firing depends on the temperature you are firing to...

Brass melts above 900 C.

It get REALLY soft above 700C

Kilns can fire much higher than that. So, its not a good idea

This is a correction to the previous answer. Many kilns are programmable. While these kilns have a max temp, you can go as low as you want. So you can easily program a kiln to heat at 900C.

The books doesn't really say his age, but I'm guessing he's in his 15 or 16 years of age.

You can use the pinch method which forms it with you hands simply pinching it together.

You can use the slab method by cutting out rectangles of squares to make sides for a base.

You can coil it by rolling it into separate coils, then molding them all together to a base.

terra cotta in Italian means "baked earth". Terra cotta is generally the term applied to low fired red clay.

It is used when greater resistance to very high temperatures is needed. In particular it is used for the construction of kilns (you don't want the inside of your kiln to start melting, do you?)

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.

Soft clay must be used on a potter's wheel to create pottery, and then fired in a pottery oven

ADDED: It's pretty much clay-ware by the definition of "pottery"! :-) It's used because it has particular qualities that allow it to be shaped and fused by heat to produce articles that are functional, decorative - or both - in their own characteristic ways.

There are many places where pottery and glass can be purchased. For someone who wants to purchase these items physically Hobby Lobby is a great place to look, and online Amazon has many different varieties of items.

Wet clay: with a spoon, small garden tool, or shovel. Dry clay: with a chisel, hammer, or pick.

Yes it is. Just as it is expensive to have them place into you house, Once the tiles are fixed on to the floor removing them becomes hard and complicated without damaging or breaking them, however if someone chooses to have them removed then it will cost almost the same price or even more for removing them because looking at the methods used to fix them onto the floor in most cases they are meant to be permanent or at least take along time while strong and no space for looseness is left, this means removing them will need more time and delicate work methods that is if you would like them not damaged, but if all you care about is having them removed then it might be cheaper as less care will be put into action while removing them and therefor less time needed and with reduced or say minimal instructions or restrictions the work might be charged at a lower price.

Making things out of clay is called ceramics and pottery. Clay itself is not something that we make. It occurs naturally, and we just dig it up and use it.

In most cases companies use China or say porcelain in industrial production as it is easy to cast and it is the white clay due to the fact that it contains more of kaolin than earth or ball clay. The white color is brought about by its composition and even after the kiln it is white although they are glazed to increase the Porosity and its resistance to acids and ware plus tear.

Hi, A Daulton Miniature Soiree figurine retail value is; $19.95.

Hope this help's!

I don't think I would, if it is a shiny glazed tile in place now, There wont be a bond between the old and new tiles.

If the current tile is a rough slate tile, maybe.

Check the recommedations of the manufacturer of the tile you want to install.

Another option is to install 1/4 inch concrete backerboard over the existing tile, but it should be screwed down and that's a real chore in your situation.

Maybe the manufacturer knows of a type of mortar that will work on those smooth existing tiles (assuming they are smooth).

another answer:

my answer is no because it can be easily broke. this property is enought to answer absolutly no.

Another Answer: Don't do it. First, it will make your floor really high, this will be a problem especially if it butts up against another type of flooring such as carpet. Second, the bond of the mortar won't be as strong, you will end up needing to make repairs to the new floor much sooner than you would if you installed had it correctly the first time.

In response to installing cement board over the old tile... you can do this, it will get you a stable surface and a good bond for the mortar, but your floor will be really, really high. If there is a transition to another flooring type you will be stubbing your toes for years to come.

I would recommend doing the job right the first time around. Rip up the old tile, then install the new flooring. It will save you many headaches down the road.

It takes about a few days 2 to 3 to be specific. It depends on how big it is.

The Greeks used a method of hand building called the coil method. Coils of clay were rolled out and positioned on top of each other in a circular manner, then paddled smooth to create a smooth, regular finish.
