Program Overview

Advanced seminar: Ceramics

The Oberseminar: Ceramics program is a comprehensive course of study that delves into the world of ceramics. The program is divided into several key areas of focus.

Introduction and Overview

The program begins with an introduction to the field of ceramics, including an overview of the different types of ceramics and their applications.

Program Structure

The program is structured into six main sections:

• 1. Raw Materials
• 2. Preparation of raw materials, production of masses (Preparation of Raw Materials, Production of Masses)
• 3. Shaping
• 4. Drying, Firing
• 5. Post-Treatment and Refining
• 6. Individual Ceramic Materials and Applications
