functions of clay
food:
in countries where food is scarce, clay is eaten to fulfill the lack of minerals (salt) found in people daily diets
Slip cast:
clay is cheap and light weight. slip cast is a great solution to low impact, low compression mold making. processes is fast and low tech
knife set:
ceramic can be extremely sharp and hard. ceramic knives keep their sharp edge longer then normal metal knives
jewelry:
hair straighter:
ceramic is great for retaining heat

self watering planter
the self planter is a simple idea using a very low tech solution. the body of the planter is molded in ceramic which has the ability to be either porous or completely sterile and sealed. the planter is placed over a hidden water source and uses a wick and capillary action to water the plant
(capillary action)
the wick is laced through the bottom and rests in the bottom of the plant where the plant can absorb water as needed.
as water is absorbed through the wick, the plant on top is able to absorb water from the dampened strong

light divider
light divider is attached to the common florescent light that is found in many dorms. using a simple lever system, pull the rope that redirects light using a reflective panel that can the be locked into place.
the panel is in neutral, dispersing even light to the whole room
the light is now directed to the roommate on the left to they can do their homework at night.
