Fired Clay

Fired clay is clay that has been shaped and then heated in a kiln to high temperatures. This process transforms the clay from a soft, malleable state into a hard, durable material. The firing process removes moisture and strengthens the clay, making it suitable for various purposes, such as pottery, tiles, and bricks. Once fired, the clay can be glazed or painted for decorative purposes. Fired clay has been used for thousands of years in art and construction, valued for its versatility, aesthetic appeal, and permanence.
