Common mistake

Misunderstanding Clay Ceramics Production

Students often confuse the process of making clay ceramics with other materials, thinking that they are made by simply mixing clay with water without heating.

Emphasize that clay ceramics, such as pottery and bricks, are specifically made by shaping wet clay and then heating it in a furnace to harden.
