Water Etching... a Well Kept Secret
Water-Etching : A Well-Kept Secret. This was the original draft of a submission to “Pottery Making Illustrated” sometime in 2007, eventually published under the title “Adding by Subtracting”. Some of the included photographs were omitted in the printed version for reasons of space, but they’re still included here to help make the explanations clearer. Roger Graham Pottery at Old Toolijooa School Some time last year, on a visit interstate, I bought a delightful porcelain pot with a delicate raised pattern on the outside. Carved with infinite patience, or so I thought. Not at all, the potter told me. It’s water-etching... and I was given a one-sentence outline of how it’s done. Use wax emulsion to paint a design on the unfired pot, then spray with water. Back home in the workshop, I’ve had time to follow up this idea, and it has opened up a whole new field of possibilities. Nothing found on the internet. Nothing known by various other experienced potters of my acquaintance. How could this wonderful technique have remained a secret for so long? So, what do you do? This photo shows what you can expect, once you know the secret, and it’s so simple really. • Throw a suitable pot, using a smooth fine- grained clay. Let it dry. • Use wax emulsion and a fine brush, to paint a design on the pot. Food dye in the wax makes it easier to see where you’ve been. • Invert the pot and suspend it on some kind of pedestal, then apply a fine spray of water. -
Kofun Period: Research Trends 20121 Tanaka Yutaka2
Kofun Period: Research Trends 20121 Tanaka Yutaka2 Introduction In the 2012 Fiscal Year, with reports of rescue activities for cultural properties in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake being prominent on the one hand, together with society’s grappling with problems of buried cultural properties protection in conjunction with reconstruction projects, we were also struck with misgivings about the waning trend of Kofun period research when looking at the May special issue of Kōkogaku jānaru (The Archaeological Journal), which featured Jōmon period research in equal volume.3 Looking at the activities of the keyhole tomb research societies which reflect Kofun period research of each region, whereas the Kyushu and the Chūgoku Shikoku Keyhole Tomb Research Societies 4 put together voluminous compilations of data and healthy debate is thus discerned, with each passing year their operations are becoming increasingly difficult. The Tōhoku/Kantō Keyhole Tomb Research Society,5 which has the greatest number of members, deepened debate on the topic of “Middle Period Tombs,” but saw an extreme drop in the number of new members. These developments suggest that Kofun period research is in a period of transition together with archaeology as a whole. As if to appear inseparable from such misgivings, the 2012 Fiscal Year was 1 [Trends in Japanese Archaeological Research, 2012, is a partial translation of “Nihon kōkogaku kenkyū no dōkō” 日本考古学研究の動向, in Nihon kōkogaku nenpō 65 (2012 nendoban) 日本考古学年報 65(2012 年度版) [Archaeologia Japonica 65 (2012 Fiscal Year Issue)] (Nihon Kōkogaku Kyōkai, 2014), pp. 1-68.

Blocking Knits 101 with Faith Hale
Blocking Knits 101 with Faith Hale Chapter 1 - Blocking Knits 101 Overview - Hi there, I'm Faith. I'm a resident knitter here at Creativebug and I have been knitting for over 20 years. And one question you ask any knitter is whether or not they are a blocker. If they block their knitting. And the best ones always say yes. Blocking is one of those steps that can take a bit of time but it really lends polish to your finished garment. If you design your own knitwear, you'll want to block all of your swatches so that you can see how they'll behave when the piece is completed. In this class, we'll cover three different kinds of blocking, wet blocking, steam blocking, and spot blocking. And I'll share with you some tips for working with different kinds of yarns and different kinds of techniques. Blocking can feel a bit tedious, but it's also super meditative. And I love taking my time with it as the final step for knitwear that I'm planning myself or giving to someone else. (upbeat music) Materials - You'll need a blocking surface, which can be as simple as a bed or a piece of cardboard, but I really prefer these blocking mats. They're interlocking, you can get a budget version as kids play mats. They're made out of this foam and I really like that they break down and you can pack them up and put them away. But if you don't have access to these, you can use a guest bed or even your rug covered with a clean towel. -

Women's Magazines and the Democratization of Print
WOMEN’S MAGAZINES AND THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF PRINT AND READING CULTURE IN INTERWAR JAPAN by Shiho Maeshima A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2016 © Shiho Maeshima, 2016 Abstract This dissertation reconsiders the significance of a periodical genre hitherto marginalized in academia, namely, the Japanese mass-market women’s magazine, in the history of print/reading culture in modern Japan. The study also aims to investigate the interrelations among magazine genres, gender categories, and the formation of cultural hierarchy. Analysis of diverse periodicals from the late 19th century to the 1930s, their contemporary commentaries and various surveys reveals that, around the turn of the 20th century, magazine genres became increasingly gendered in terms of their formats, editing styles, content, and readership: magazines for adults evolved into either “serious” general magazines for men concerning “public” matters or “vulgar” women’s magazines on “light” issues related to the “domestic” sphere. It was the latter magazine genre that led to the democratization of print/reading culture in interwar Japan. Inclusion of various article genres written in highly colloquial styles, extensive use of visuals, stress on entertainment and people’s private lives, and increasing collaboration with other industries, were to become common practices among Japanese periodicals after WWII. The new editing style also contributed to the spread of a new reading style in Japan. With its accessible editorial and promotional styles, the interwar mass-market women’s magazine attracted readers from a wide range of ages and social classes, including men, and functioned as the “transfeminized” entertaining home magazine. -
