Warm Glass — art glass, handblown glass
Warm glass refers to fusing, slumping, and other kiln forming glass techniques which take place at temperatures between 1100 and 1700 degrees Fahrenheit.  
 

Wheel Thrown — ceramics
The term throw comes from Old English meaning spin. A piece of clay is placed on a potter's wheel head which spins. The clay is shaped by compression while it is in motion. Often the potter will use several thrown shapes together to form one piece. For example, a teapot can be constructed from three or four thrown forms.
