ce·ram·ics [suh-ram-iks]–noun
1. the art or technology of making objects of clay and similar materials treated by firing.
2. articles of earthenware, porcelain, etc.
A ceramic is an inorganic, non-metallic solid prepared by the action of heat and subsequent cooling. [1] Ceramic materials may have a crystalline or partly crystalline structure, or may be amorphous (e.g., a glass). Because most common ceramics are crystalline, the definition of ceramic is often restricted to inorganic crystalline materials, as opposed to the non-crystalline glasses.
The Ceramics program at Fallbrook School of the arts introduces students of all ages to a wide range of techniques and processes with an emphasis on creative thinking and individual artistic growth. The studio experience includes wheel throwing, hand building, glazing techniques and Raku firing. Classes vary throughout the year and range in ages from 5 to adult.

Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material. Glasses are typically brittle, and often optically transparent. Glass is commonly used for windows, bottles, and eyewear; examples of glassy materials include soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, acrylic glass, sugar glass, Muscovy-glass, and aluminium oxynitride. The term glass developed in the late Roman Empire. It was in the Roman glassmaking center at Trier, now in modern Germany, that the late-Latin term glesum originated, probably from a Germanic word for a transparent, lustrous substance. |

jew·el·ry Spelled[joo-uh l-ree]–noun
1. articles of gold, silver, precious stones, etc., for personal adornment.
2.any ornaments for personal adornment, as necklaces or cuff links, including those of base metals, glass, plastic, or the like.
Also, especially British jew·el·ler·y. ,
jewelry is a form of personal adornment, manifesting itself as necklaces, rings, brooches, earrings and bracelets. Jewellery may be made from any material, usually gemstones, precious metals or shells. Factors affecting the choice of materials include cultural differences and the availability of the materials. Jewellery may be appreciated because of its material properties, its patterns or for meaningful symbols. Jewellery differs from other items of personal adornment in that it besides looking appealing, it often has no other purpose. Items such as belts and handbags are considered to be accessories rather than jewellery.
The word jewellery is derived from the word jewel, which was Anglicised from the Old French " jouel" circa the 13th century. [1] Further tracing leads back to the Latin word " jocale", meaning plaything. Jewellery is one of the oldest forms of body adornment; recently-found 100,000 year-old beads made from Nassarius shells are thought to be the oldest known jewellery. |
