Ceramics Coil Construction

This document discusses ceramic coil construction and the clay drying process. It outlines three main types of clay used - earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain - and describes the five stages of clay drying: wet, leatherhard, bonedry, bisque, and glazed. The leatherhard stage is noted as the best time to carve clay without misshaping it, and bisque ware is defined as clay that has been fired once to become brick hard. Glazed pots are also mentioned, with glaze described as a glassy substance fused onto the surface of pottery.
