Ceramic is made primarily of clay mixed with various minerals and water. Before beginning a typical ceramic process, it is necessary to define what a ceramic is. A ceramic is any inorganic crystalline oxide material. The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικÏ�ς (karamus). In general, ceramic is a shade of brown or "terra cotta" even after firing and somewhat coarse (granular) in consistency.

Ceramics
Ceramics were probably discovered when someone accidentally dropped into fire a clay pot or bowl shaped by hand and allowed to dry; the resulting object was observed to be hard and dense. 'Low' bisque firing is typical for pottery and ceramics while vitrified bisque is done for bone china and some types of stoneware. Renowned potter Josiah Wedgwood opened the world's first modern ceramics factory in Stoke-on-Trent, England, in 1759.
