Using Natural Fibers in Forming the Body of Ceramic Lamp

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to investigate the using natural fibers in forming the body of a ceramic lamp. Natural fibers were first mixed with clay slip and then wrapped around a balloon 3 or 4 times before being left to dry at room temperature. The balloon was burst with a needle, removed and the now dry clay-fiber body was fired at 1230 °C, following which electrical fittings were added.
