A method of manufacturing ceramic bodies comprising the steps of: preparing a ceramic sheet; forming through holes in the ceramic sheet, each of the through hole forming at least one part of the contour of each ceramic bodies; and cutting the ceramic sheet into pieces of ceramic bodies. The ceramic sheet can be a single ceramic sheet or a laminate of ceramic sheets. The method of manufacturing ceramic bodies further comprises a step of forming a recess in the ceramic sheet, or pressure molding or partially removing of the ceramic body, as required. The manufacturing method provides inexpensive production of small ceramic elements having a complicated shape and extremely smooth surfaces with less uneven filling and nonuniform density.
