There is a question in one of my ceramics handouts that asks what is known as the “bone” of clay and I can’t find it anywhere. Can someone tell me what the “bone” of the clay is?

    I’m a ceramic engineer, and I’ve never heard of a “bone” of clay.

    If you’re talking about bone china, it’s called this because they use bone ash in the body.

    Another possibility is that after you have created your piece, you have to let it ‘bone dry’ before you bisque fire it. Any piece not completely ‘bone’ dry will crack and break if fired.
