The Evolution of
Ceramics Design

3. 
The word Ceramics comes from the Greek “Keramikos”
meaning “pottery”, which in turn comes from Keramos,
meaning “pottery clay” the traditional ceramics
product were made from clay or clay mixed with other
materials, shaped and subjected to heat, and table ware
and decorative ceramics are generally still made this
way. In modern ceramics, ceramics is the art and
science of making object inorganic and non-metallic
materials.
What are Ceramics?

 Additive - In subtractive processes, the sculptor
begins with a mass of material larger than the
finished work and removes material, or subtracts
from that mass until the work achieves its finished
form. Carving is a subtractive process.
 additive processes, the sculptor builds the work,
adding material as the work proceeds. Modeling,
construction, and assemblage are additive processes.

 colored liquid applied to
surface: a colored liquid
applied to a surface in
order to decorate or
protect it, or in order to
create a painting
Painting

12. 
 Glaze is a layer or
coating of a vitreous
substance which has
been fused to a ceramic
object through firing.
Glaze can serve to color,
decorate, strengthen or
waterproof an item.
Glazing

13. 
 The ceramic molding
process is an easy
production method
which guarantees the
precision required,
and also gives a good
surface finish, using a
high temperature
method to better
structure and shape
parts.
Molding

14. 
 forms were built up
from long rolls of clay,
and then smoothed with
the fingers or a smooth
piece of wood or stone.
Coiled

15. 
 construction involves rolling out a flat sheet of clay,
cutting shapes from the sheet, and assembling them
into the desired forms. All of these ancient methods
are still practiced by craftspersons around the
world.

16. 
 to make clay objects was developed
in China at least as early as 3500
BC. This involves centering a ball
of clay on a table that is turned by
kicking a weighted wheel, or
operating a treadle. The form is
shaped by the potters hands, but is
perfectly symmetrical, because of
the turning of the wheel as he
shapes the clay. The potters wheel
and the wood lathe in fact operate
on the same principal. Throwing is
the method most commonly used
today
Wheel throwing

17. 
Industrial oven: a specialized oven or furnace
used for industrial processes such as firing
clay for pottery or bricks and for drying
materials such as hops or timber

 is considered to be the finest quality of ceramics. It is
translucent, self glazing, white, and very hard.
Porcelain was developed in China, and is made of a
special type of clay called kaolin, plus feldspar. The
secret of porcelain was not discovered in Europe
until the early 18th century, when the first porcelain
factory was established at Meissen, in Saxony (now
Germany)

19. 
 of ceramics began with simply burnishing or
polishing the surface of the raw clay with a smooth
tool. The surface could also be carved or incised to
create decorative patterns or images.
