what is the difference between ceramics,sculpture and pottery?

Answer:

I am using Xp3 and I can tell you my 2012 Dodge 3500 Laramie is doing 200 km further than I have ever made it before. I am getting well over 1000 km to the tank. (about 650 miles). My wife was getting 650 km to the tank in our Grande Caravan and by her second treatment of Xp3 she was over 800 km to the tank. I have not seen the website, I saw a live demonstration and bought the product and I can tell you it works much better than I expected.
Ceramics is art made in the medium of clay. Pottery is mostly a reference to producing of utilitarian work with more emphasis on design and less emphasis on the on an artistic statement. Sculpture is art produced with in 3-D. This can be made with a variety of materials such as clay, but also wood, metal, plaster, found objects, or mixed media. I am a sculptor and I don't work in clay because I prefer other mediums.
ceramics is anything that is made in clay and fired. clay may range from high quality porcerlain to low fired adobe clay.pottery has it's origin in the word pots, it used to mean the craft of making pots and other useful stuff , but now has grown to be almost the same meaning as ceramics. sculpture is any piece of 3 d art - that is any piece of art that has lenght, breath and thickness, it may be made of any material- ceramics, mud, plastic bags,metal,wood, butter and even balloons. there is no pottery machinery you probadly mean a throwing wheel or a potter's wheel. you could mean a hand turned wheel, any or all of these may be purchased from any pottery supply store. the colours on pottery is the result of applying glazes, slips(coloured clay , not an article of clothing!!)underglazes,underpaint oxides and other applications of minerals and oxides and then fired. for glass colour is added by the introduction of various oxides to the glass during the manufacturing process. but you can apply glass paints to bottles or other glass items and as long as you wash them gentlly , it should stay .you should not use it for any items that is used in eating. pottery or ceramics are fired- that is heated to a high temperature, to partially melt the material , to sterngthen it before further decoration(bisquite or biscuit firing)or to fully 'melt' the clay to make it fully water proof and very strong(but some what brittle) some pottery may only be sun dried and these may only be used for storing dried items. air dried craft clays are not considered as ceramics.
