  10. Tile : a flat surface with a design that can be raised or carved

  11. Firing: process that heats clay to 1800 F for 5-6 hours

  12. Slab: clay that has been rolled flat

  13. Relief Sculpture: a carved design that is 3-D, has a raised surface

  14. Clay Vocabulary • Join /Weld - to attach two pieces of clay together • Slip • Clay + Water = Clay glue • Liquid Clay • Score • Roughing up (scraping) the clay • For attaching clay together

  15. Clay VocabularyStages of Clay • Plastic – clay that is flexible and wet Easily molded and shaped

  16. Clay VocabularyStages of Clay • Leather Hard • 1st day of drying, easily carved • Clay is cold, stiff, and leathery • Greenware • Completely dry pottery (but not fired) • Most fragile! • Bisque – Clay that is fired once. Greenware

  17. Raised – Making a design that comes up off the surface, 3-D with added clay

  18. Foreground: Closest to viewer (highest level)Middle ground : between front & backBack ground: farthest from viewer (lowest level)

  19. Levels • Carved- Forming a design by using sharp tools

  20. Clay VocabularyFiring • Smoothing - Remove all texture with sponge and water • Firing • Fire clay 1400 degrees 6-8 hours • Kiln • Furnace used to fire clay • Glaze • Waterproof, Glass-paint
