Just as clay comes in many forms, so does slip. The texture and chemical content of the slip dictate what type of clay body it forms. Clay slip bodies range from fine delicate porcelain to coarse strong stoneware. Your firing temperature depends on the content of your slip.…

In order to use natural clay dug from river banks or ocean cliffs it had to be malleable enough to be bent or stretched into a coil without cracking. They would then start making a pot by pinching a small amount of clay into a dish shape and placing it in a hole in the ground. They would add coils of clay to the inside of the container wall. The coils were then pinched and smoothed together until the preferred form was attained. They then used a paddle to compress and give the clay its finished form.…

Bentonite Clay Bentonite clay stems back far in history as a traditional healing method for protecting the body from disease. Because the clay is readily available and required no modern processing, it has been a popular and cost-effective way of “detoxing” the body for quite some time. Bentonite clay benefits your body by helping to expel many of these toxins and therefore increases immunity and reduces inflammation.Bentonite clay is known to have an abundance of minerals including calcium,…
Each and everyone one of us all start from the same beginnings. No two people are exactly alike in both experience and character. Even though we might not be exact replicas of one another, we are all made up of the same basic matter. Much like clay, no two creations are alike. We are able to mold, maneuver, invent, and revise. Like us, clay comes from the same basic constructs of matter, and concepts of being. Clay is nothing but microscopic particles produced by millions of years worth of destruction and disintegration of matter. Clay is merely the dirt that lies beneath each and every one of us, turned into something meaningful and full of opportunity. The potential that lies in just a few pounds of silky sandy sludge is beyond the imagination,…
The service life spans of concrete and clay tile roofs are significantly longer than that of asphalt shingle roofs. Because of their color, texture, and tile profile, they produce handsome-looking roofs. That is why in modern construction, concrete and clay tiles are extensively used in low-rise commercial structures and higher-priced homes and apartment buildings. Tiles come in a large variety of profiles, sizes, and colors, depending on the manufacturer. The clay tile’s color is primarily a function of the chemical composition of the clay from which it is made. If any additional color-modifying agent is used, it is added to the clay before firing. Therefore, the color becomes integral to the tile. With its integral color, clay tile weathers only slightly with time, caused mainly by the pollutants in the air. Glaze coated clay tiles are also available. The glaze is applied to the already-fired tiles, which are then refried to obtain a durable glaze. The color of concrete tiles is a function of the color of the Portland cement, aggregates, and any pigments used. The gradual erosion of the surface of the tile due to running water on the roof exposes the aggregates in a concrete tile, which can create a noticeable change in the tile’s color over time. Initial and periodic sealing of the tiles’ surface helps retain the color longer. Concrete tiles can also be factory painted on their exposed surface. Several manufacturers make concrete tiles with the characteristic (brown) terra-cotta color painted on them to mimic clay tiles. Being an applied finish, the paint tends to fade over time.…
The Materials Economy has been the driving force behind U.S. economics since the Second World War. The name refers to the raw materials from which its products are made. The marketing and sale of these products is what keeps the Materials Economy in motion, while exhausting natural resources and generating incalculable amounts of waste.…
The German ceramic industry accounted for the second largest share in Europe ceramic industry in terms of production value in 2013 and has the most advanced and highly developed ceramic products such as sanitaryware, bricks and roof tiles and tableware with substantial consumer spending on residential and housing construction in the historical years. The industry draws majority of its revenue from the bricks and roof tiles, sanitaryware, tableware and ceramic tiles product segments. However, in the recent years, it has been observed that whilst the sanitaryware, ceramic tiles and tableware markets have moderately matured, the refractory, abrasives and technical ceramic products have been showcasing greater opportunities.…
