Ceramics 1 Week Twelve
Harmony
How are the shapes found in this work by Bruce white similar?
The visual elements are repeated in different ways that appear the same or similar to other areas in the work.
Example of HarmonyRepeating directional lines and/or shapes within the piece similar to the outer edge of the workLayering similar colors so that all the parts seem to fit together
Kick Wheel
Pottery wheel not run by electricity but rather the potter’s feet kick a lower wheel to get it started and reenergize it when it slows down.
Soaking the Kiln
Maintaining the kiln at a temperature below the boiling point of water for an extended period of time, ensures pots are completely bone dry before firing.
Under 212 F/100 ⁰ ⁰C
Glaze Fit
Glazes fit when they expand as the clay expands and shrink at the same rate as the clay being fired shrinks when cooling
Good Glaze Fit
Means the glaze is always firmly attached to the pot throughout the firing process
Glaze should look smooth and free of defects
Poor Glaze Fit: Shivering
Glaze flakes off the surface in chucks because the glaze shrinks faster than the pot when cooling in the kiln
Poor Glaze Fit: Crazing Cracking or
distortion of glaze caused by the admission of cold air to the kiln during cooling or poor glaze fit
Glaze applied to thick may craze
Japanese Cracked Vase
Sometimes crazing is encouraged
Japanese cracked vase is stained with concentrated tea to create a natural and interesting pattern in the glaze
Health Warning
Crazed surfaces allow bacterial growth so artists who want to emphasize these cracks should only encourage cracks on the outside of pots
Or stain cracks with contrasting glaze and re-fire the pot with a clear glaze to seal cracks
Wax Resist
Wax creates a barrier keeping glaze from soaking into the ceramic surface
Glaze drips on waxed areas are easy to remove with a damp sponge
Wax Resist Warning
Glaze drips not removed from waxed surface will reach the pot’s surface when wax melts away in the kiln
Dry Footing Brushing wax resist onto the foot of a
pot before glazing will help you to easily wipe away glaze if it accidentally drips on the foot ring when dipping
•All glaze should be removed from the bottom of a piece before firing To make stiltingunnecessary
Creative Problem SolvingThink Positive!

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
