Ceramic production involves creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials, primarily clay. The process begins with shaping the clay into desired forms, which can include pottery, tiles, and bricks. Once shaped, the items are dried to remove moisture and then fired in a kiln at high temperatures, which hardens the material and enhances its durability. After firing, ceramics can be glazed to add color and a protective layer. This glazing process not only improves aesthetics but also makes the surface less porous. The final products are widely used in various applications, including art, construction, and everyday household items.
