Flaky mineral found in ceramic art (4)

I believe the answer is:

mica

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flaky mineral' is the definition.
'mica' can be an answer for 'mineral' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'flaky' bit.

'in ceramic art' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MICA' is hidden within 'ceramic art'.

'found' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mica that I've seen before include "Shiny silicate mineral" , "Isinglass" , "Transparent mineral" , "Muscovite with perfect cleavage" , "Semitransparent insulating mineral" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
