Ceramics

The field of Ceramics is vast and wide-ranging. I cover some key topics related to my research in these pages.

Kaolin

The material kaolin is a key ingredient in porcelain and in ceramic clay bodies. I discuss why here.

Jingdezhen Porcelain

I visited Jingdezhen in 2011. The city is known for its role in the production of porcelain.

Piccolpasso

The first manuscript on pottery making was written by an Italian named Piccolpasso, who wrote on the processes for creating maiolica.
