Pottery is the process and the products of forming vessels and other objects with clay and other ceramic materials which are fired at high temperatures to give them a hard durable form. In this stage the clay is very fragile non plastic and porous. In both types of molds if a non porous material is used sheets of newspaper need to be sandwiched in between the clay slab and the mold. Slump molds have fewer constraints since the clay will shrink away from the mold not toward the mold s surface.

Vitreous translucent pottery made from a body of the following approximate composition. In general porous ceramics may be divided into two main classes 20 22. Disadvantages of using porcelain tile.

Honeycomb ceramics figure 1 15 23 and ceramic foam figure 1 16 the former has polygonal columnar pores that form a two dimensional array see figure 1 2 and the latter has hollow polyhedron pores that form a three dimensional array. A support on which a clay slab is draped to a shape as it stiffens. Slicing off clay to form many angles. Otherwise the clay may not release from the mold cleanly.

Figure 1 16 shows two ceramic foams with different pore structures both of.
