What are Ceramics?

Ceramics are an inorganic non-metallic solid made up of either metal or non-metal compounds that have been shaped and then hardened by heating to high temperatures(known as a kiln). Ceramics are generally made by taking mixtures of clay, earthen elements, powders, water that makes them hard, corrosion-resistant, and brittle as the desired shape. Ceramics are covered by decorative, waterproof, paint-like substances known as glazes.
