A ceramic is an inorganic, nonmetallicsolid material comprising metal, nonmetal or metalloid atoms primarily held in ionic and covalent bonds. The crystallinity of ceramic materials ranges from highly oriented to semi-crystalline, and often completely amorphous (e.g., glasses). Varying crystallinity and electron consumption in the ionic and covalent bonds cause most ceramic materials to be good thermal and electrical insulators and extensively researched in ceramic engineering. Nevertheless, with such a large range of possible options for the composition/structure of a ceramic (e.g. nearly all of the elements, nearly all types of bonding, and all levels of crystallinity), the breadth of the subject is vast, and identifiable attributes (e.g. hardness, toughness, electrical conductivity, etc.) are hard to specify for the group as a whole. However, generalities such as high melting temperature, high hardness, poor conductivity, high moduli of elasticity, chemical resistance and low ductility are the norm, with known exceptions to each of these rules (e.g. piezoelectric ceramics, glass transition temperature, superconductive ceramics, etc.). Many composites, such as fiberglass and carbon fiber, while containing ceramic materials, are not considered to be part of the ceramic family.
Throwing an Pottery Apple on the wheel. How I tried to make a pottery Apple shaped pot. Possibly you could put a slot in the side and make it into a money box. Just another enclosed pot with a stalk on the top really, no special techniques. I know it's not exact but it gives the impression of an Apple.

A detailed process, on how to make a ceramic vase. Cut down to 3 minutes to get the understanding on what a potter goes through in order to make a vase. Instructional video. Good for a class video
In this video i'm making a simple ceramic cup from a 1 piece plaster mold. I started with filling the plastic cup with clay,to prevent it from flooting to the top. I also fill up the small edge of the cup. After that i applyd some release grease to the table. When the plaster is poured, you can take out the plastic cup in about an hour. Make sure to dry the plaster mold for a couple of days (or hours) ,depending on the moisture and the way of drying. After that you can pour in liquid clay. I left the clay in for about 20 minutes , which created a good thickness of the cup. When the clay cup is dried, it can be fired in an ceramic kiln. You can see the end-result in the last shot. You can leave it like this for decoration, or you can add ceramic glaze on it, if you want to use it as a dri...

Soon I will be falling down
The way I always
And I remember falling
And I remember crawling...
Still I'm falling
Have you come down
From all the peeling?
'Cause I remember holy
And only God can save me
Still I'm falling...
This is the last time I'll speak of holding you
Take this from me and take it before it dies
'Cause this is the last time I'll speak of...holding you
Still I'm falling...
This is the last time I'll speak of holding you
And you get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall away
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you...you get up and you...fail
