Products ceramic objects that we see everyday is very diverse, both the shape, size, function, decoration and color, these products are the end result of a process of forming or manufacturing of ceramic objects.
At first ceramic objects made by hand directly so that the result is a ceramic objects to form a limited and very simple, but now various ceramic objects forming techniques have grown rapidly. Formation process is growing in line with advances in technology ranging from clay-making processes of nature, processing, forming, and decorating pengglasiran and combustion.
In industrial or ceramic factories are now using more advanced technology in the process of its formation to make the product that much, but with a relatively short time, this is done to speed up the production process.
The process of formation is the process of making ceramic objects, this process need the hand skills ranging from pengulian process until final completion (finishing). Formation of ceramic objects can be done by hand directly (handbuilt) or with the help of other tools such as a rotary tool, jigger-jolley, printing equipment, and so on.
The process of formation of the ceramic objects can be divided into several engineering, namely:
1. Techniques free (modeling)
2. Technique massage (pinching)
3. Techniques Gyre (coiling)
4. Technique plate (slab building)
5. Techniques sculpting
6. Mechanical rotary (throwing)
7. Printing technique (mold)
Complete the process of the formation of ceramic objects are described as follows.
