Useful Pottery Terms and Definitions

GREENWARE: Unfired clay or pottery. This can be in any state of wetness or dryness so long as it has not been fired in a kiln.

LEATHER HARD: Refers to a state of greenware where the clay has set up a bit and most of the moisture has evaporated. A good state to add parts, carve, or join pieces of clay together.

BONE DRY: State of greenware where the clay has “totally” dried out and is very fragile and ready to fire. The clay is no longer workable in this state.

FIRING: Heating bone dry greenware in a kiln to the point of maturity. The temperature needed to mature specific clay or glaze varies.
