| Ceramics is one of the oldest varieties of manufacturing. There are a lot of things made of clay around us and we can name them all one name- ceramics. Earthenware is produced in many countries of the world. However, the industrial articles cannot equal the handmade ceramics. All the articles are made of Lithuanian clay.
The manufacturing process consists of several stages: modeling, drying, burning, and glazing. | |
