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.
