well im going to make a mini bong out of clay/ceramic and i was going to use a lightbulb to make the globe part at the bottom but the clay sticks to it and when i go to remove the clay it all tears apart, and water just makes it stick more. What do i do?

Grease it with vasilene or make the globe in two halves and then fuse them together. Whan you go to remove the light bulb twist the base very carefully to break the adhesion of the clay. Or, if that doesn't work for ya, you might be able to use the "lost wax" method, like in casting except don't fill the hole after melting the wax.
