Ceramic is a broad term that encompasses all forms of fired clay products. The most common type of ceramic bodies that are used are:
  • Earthenware is the type of ceramic body that is generally referred to as ceramic. It is a porus body that is usually glazed to achieve durability and beautiful colors and designs. It is a 'low fire' body generally fired to temperatures less than 2000 F.
  • Porcelain which is a strong vitreous body that is usually transluscent when fired. It is considered a 'high fire' body generally being fired to 2300 F (1200 C) or higher temperatures.
  • Stoneware is a strong body frequently used for ovenware. It is opaque and also a 'high fire' body. These comprise the most commonly used clay bodies.

Shelley Galloway

Specialties:

All types of jewelry made from semiprecious stone and earthenware clay.

I am a mixed media artist. I work in clay, hot and cold glass, and fibre. My love is pottery. To me, clay is a cathartic medium that responds to manipulation immediately.
