Ceramic Glazes

admin — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:08:02 +0000

Glazes are what gives ceramic pottery it’s beauty. Galzes can be a simply clear to enhance and bring shine to the natural look of the clay used or add vibrant color and glaze effects.

Ceramic glazes can be applied as a wash by dipping a pot into the solution or pouring over the pot; painted on with a paint brush to create painted scenes; or squeezed from a tube as a thick paste and spread with tools as with painting ceramic tiles.

Ceramic Pottery Sculpture

admin — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:49:20 +0000

Clay is an easy medium to use for making sculptures. In it’s raw form clay can be easily rolled, etched, carved and moulded into any shape or form. Large elaborate ceramic pottery sculptures may need structural support before firing.

Remember to keep the sculpture moist until finished by covering with a damp cloth when not working on your sculpture. Although air dried clay can be reclaimed by soaking in water, a partial completed work cannot be re-moistened without destroying it and starting again.

Ceramic Pottery Kilns

admin — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:17:13 +0000

An essential item for all ceramic pottery making is a kiln for firing your ceramic pottery pieces. Pottery requiring glazing need to be fired twice.

The first firing or “bisque” firing sets the clay and changes it from a raw natural dry clay state to a hardened ‘biscuit’ state. A bisque fired piece of ceramic pottery is porous and not water-proof at this stage so glazing, the application of glass in liquid suspension, and another kiln firing is required.

Bisque firing in the kiln is at a lower temperature than the final firing after the glaze has been applied.

Pottery Wheel

Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com

The pottery wheel revolutionized the way ceramic pottery was made, although the hand turned wheel was used for centuries before mechanization began with the industrial revolution.

For many years the ‘treadel’ or ‘kick’ wheel was used which required the potter to move the wheel by using a kicking motion on the foot swing arm.

This is still my favorite way to turn pots as I find the hypnotic rhythm required quite relaxing. This was the first type of wheel I was introduced to in my high school years so i guess you could say that it is my first love.

Of course modern pottery wheels are now motorized and run on electricity. The speed of the wheel is determined by pressure applied to the foot pedal in much the same manner as an electric sewing machine.

There are some good videos showing how to use the pottery wheel.

Stoneware

admin — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:33:13 +0000

Stoneware is the most common ceramic pottery used for baking, cooking and food vessels because of ability to withstand the temperatures required for cooking and it’s waterproof properties.

The term Stoneware describes the type of clay and firing temperature used to create this ceramic pottery. Stoneware is typically vitreous or semi-vitreous which means it is fired at a temperature (between 1200°C & 1300 °C) that makes it almost glass-like in it’s final form.

Ceramic tiles can be used for practical and decorative purposes.

Aside from wall tiles in the kitchen and floor tiles on the bathroom floor, a ceramic tile inset on a kitchen counter-top is not only decorative but offers a practical place to stand your hot cooking utensils without damaging the counter-top.

Hand painted ceramic tiles can be added to a wall as a decorative feature or a focal point in a mosaic or a table setting center-piece.
