KEYWORDS: Oil-rich, clay minerals, ceramic raw materials, exploitation, ceramic education. I. INTRODUCTION 1The term, "Ceramic" is derived from the Greek word "Keramos", meaning potter's earth or clay. It has been applied traditionally to earthenware objects produced by the moulding and subsequentfiring of moist clay

Nigeria (samples A, B, and C), mixed and used as raw materials for ceramic applications. The raw or unprocessed clay soil sam-ples were blended (the usual practice of local ceramic industries in Nigeria) and processed to remove impurities and reduce the iron content of the clay samples using water-extraction meth-ods (an indigenous technology).
