2. Millefiori - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millefiori

   Millefiori (Italian: [ˌmilleˈfjoːri]) is a glasswork technique which produces distinctive decorative patterns on glassware. The term millefiori is a combination of the Italian words "mille" (thousand) and "fiori" (flowers). [1] Apsley Pellatt in his book Curiosities of Glass Making was the first to use the term "millefiori", which appeared ...

3. Polymer clay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_clay

   Polymer clay. Two ounce and one pound blocks of polymer clay. Polymer clay is a type of hardenable modeling clay based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It typically contains no clay minerals, but like mineral clay a liquid is added to dry particles until it achieves gel-like working properties. Similarly, the part is put into an oven to ...

4. Ceramic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic

   Ceramic material is an inorganic, metallic oxide, nitride, or carbide material. Some elements, such as carbon or silicon, may be considered ceramics. Ceramic materials are brittle, hard, strong in compression, and weak in shearing and tension. They withstand the chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic ...

5. Crazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazing

   Crazing is a yielding mechanism in polymers characterized by the formation of a fine network of microvoids and fibrils. [1][2] These structures (known as crazes) typically appear as linear features and frequently precede brittle fracture. The fundamental difference between crazes and cracks is that crazes contain polymer fibrils (5-30 nm in ...

6. Conservation and restoration of ceramic objects - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

   [contradictory] This type of clay is water-soluble and unstable. Earthenware is clay that has been fired between 1000–1200°C or 1832°–2192°F. The firing makes the clay water insoluble but does not allow the formation of an extensive glassy or vitreous within the body. Although water-insoluble, the porous body of earthenware allows water ...

7. Modelling clay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modelling_clay

   Polymer clay is a modelling material that cures when heated from 129 to 135 °C (265 to 275 °F) for 15 minutes per 6 millimetres ( in) of thickness, and does not significantly shrink or change shape during the process. Despite being called "clay", it generally contains no clay minerals. Polymer clay is sold in craft, hobby, and art stores, and ...
