Ceramics | Yallingup Galleries – Page 22

A ceramic is any of the various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion resistant materials made by shaping and then firing an inorganic, nonmetallic material, such as clay, at a high temperature. Common examples are earthenware, porcelain and brick.

The earliest ceramics made by humans were pottery objects (pots or vessels) or figurines made from clay.
