Clay and Glazes

The Clay and Glaze research class completed hundreds of tests of the raw ceramic materials we stock in the studio, and learned to fired kilns to low, mid, and high temperature ranges in both oxidation and reduction atmospheres. Beyond that there was a collaborative tile project, and an individual research assignment where they put their results into practice making 2-d and 3-d work.

The City Flea

We participated in The City Flea this Saturday to raise money for our course in Jingdezhen China

this December. All went swimmingly - so nice to expose the work to folks outside of DAAP and UC. 

5 weeks and counting until we take off for three weeks at The Pottery Workshop!

George

The ceramics club managed to raise money and get themselves to NCECA this year. They also printed shirts for themselves with the face of George Ohr, the self proclaimed Mad Potter contemplating the condition of matter.
I have know idea where they came up with this crazy idea.
