Ceramics __ "The art of ceramics is one of the oldest known, dating to
prehistoric times. Clay is a special kind of earth, found all over the world

exposure to heat. The earliest forms of construction were pinched-- that is, the
clay is formed with the fingers to the desired shape." Here you will find an
