A ceramist is defined as a 'craftsman who shapes pottery on a potter's wheel and bakes 
them it a kiln. ceramicist, potter, thrower. artisan, journeyman, artificer, craftsman - a 
skilled worker who practices some trade or handicraft'.

A dental ceramist, sometimes referred to as a dental technician, creates ceramics and 
prosthetics, such as dentures, bridges and crowns, for dental patients.

Years ago, while living in a Townhome. I decided to install an 'unauthorized' window air 
conditioner into the kickplate of my rear screen room.  It had tinted vinyl windows and 
this would help to cool of a room that had a western exposure.

When the property manager found it and reported it to the association, I was told by the 
Board to remove it.  They said that if they were to allow something like this, they would 
use my installation as the model for how to do it because it was done so well.  But, I still 
had to remove it.

The guy that told me this was a dental ceramist.  Now I know why he went into that 
profession.  He probably had to replace his own teeth after he delivered the bad news to 
others in the community who wanted to smash him in the face.
