Crystalline ceramics
Crystalline ceramic materials are not amenable to a great range of processing. Methods for dealing with them tend to fall into one of two categories – either make the ceramic in the desired shape, by reaction in situ, or by "forming" powders into the desired shape, and then sintering to form a solid body. Ceramic forming techniques include shaping by hand (sometimes including a rotation process called "throwing"), slip casting, tape casting (used for making very thin ceramic capacitors), injection molding, dry pressing, and other variations.

Noncrystalline ceramics
Noncrystalline ceramics, being glass, tend to be formed from melts. The glass is shaped when either fully molten, by casting, or when in a state of toffee-like viscosity, by methods such as blowing into a mold. If later heat treatments cause this glass to become partly crystalline, the resulting material is known as a glass-ceramic, widely used as cook-tops and also as a glass composite material for nuclear waste disposal.

What are ceramics? Glass, tiles, pottery, porcelain, bricks, cement, diamond, and graphite—you can probably see from this little list that "ceramics" is a very broad term, and one we're going to have difficulty defining. What do all these very different materials have in common? From a chemical viewpoint, we define ceramics in terms of what they're not. So you'll find most science textbooks and dictionaries telling you ceramics are nonmetallic and inorganic solids (ones that aren't metal or based on carbon compounds); in other words, ceramics are what we're left with when we take away metals and organic materials (including wood , plastics , rubber , and anything that was once alive).

Short about Ceramic Design The Master’s degree programme in Ceramic Design is a specialisation in the use of silica-based materials such as clay, concrete, plaster and glass as ceramic materials in various professional contexts. The overall objective of the programme is to prepare students for careers as ceramic designers through independent specialisation in relation to research, artistic research practice and in relevant practical and professional contexts. The objective of the programme is to expand the student’s understanding of specific ceramic materials and working processes on the basis of their own chosen specialisation, and further to support the development of their personal artistic profile under the guidance of the programme’s teachers.
