			== Materials needed ==

			* '''[[Clay]]'''
			* '''A [[kiln]]'''
			* Optionally: a pottery wheel and [[ceramic glaze]]

			== Crafting instructions ==

			# Work the clay to remove air bubbles and prepare the clay for shaping
			# Form the clay into the desired shape. Wetter clay is easier to shape, but drier clay holds its a shape better.
			# let the clay dry. This should be done slowly to avoid cracks
			# Bisque firing: fire in a kiln of 850–1000°C (1560–1830°F) for about 8 to 14 hours depending on size and shape.
			# Optional: Apply glaze once cooled
			# Glaze firing: fire in a kiln of 1040–1100°C (1900–2010°F) for earthenware glaze or 1200–1300°C (2190–2370°F) for stoneware glaze for about 6 to 10 hours depending on size and shape.

			== Uses ==
			Due to the abundance of clay and ceramics ability to hold water, ceramics were widely used across cultures as cases, shingles, plant pots and more
