SONOMA COUNTY MUSEUM 425 Seventh Street, Santa Rosa CA 95401 T. 707-579-1500 F. 707-579-4849 www.sonomacountymuseum.org INTRODUCTION Marguerite Wildenhain (1896-1985) was a Bauhaus trained Master Potter. Born in Lyon, France her family moved first to Germany then to England and later at the “onset of WWI” back to Germany. There Wildenhain first encountered the Bauhaus – a school of art and design that strove to bring the elevated title of artist back to its origin in craft – holding to the idea that a good artist was also a good craftsperson and vice versa. Most modern and contemporary design can be traced back to the Bauhaus, which exalted sleekness and functionality along with the ability to mass produce objects. Edith Heath was a potter and gifted form giver who started Heath Ceramics in 1946 where it continues today in its original factory in Sausalito, California. She is considered an influential mid-century American potter whose pottery is one of the few remaining.

  • Bisque Or Biscuit: the First Firing a Pot Undergoes to Prepare It for Glazing
    Glossary of Ceramic Terms: Introduction to Ceramic Terms and Definitions Bisque or Biscuit: The first firing a pot undergoes to prepare it for glazing. In industry this is done at a higher temperature than the subsequent glaze firing, the reverse is usually true of the studio potter. Burnishing: A technique where the Leather hard clay is polished with a hard instrument to force the smallest clay particles to the surface creating a soft sheen. This surface remains after the pot is fired so long as the firing temperature is kept below 1100oC. Clay: AL2O3 2SiO2 2H2O. The decomposition of Granite through the process of Kaolinization creates clay (see Kaolinization). Clay is a mineral with a plate (platelet) like structure; it is these plates, (about 0.5 microns across) when lubricated with water, slide against each other to form the plastic mass we know as clay (see Water). 'Primary ' clays are those found close to the area of Kaolinization and hence the purest (Kaolin or China Clays). Secondary clays are those moved by water away form the site of Kaolinization and get progressively more plastic and less pure (Ball Clays, Fire clays, Earthenwares). Clay Body: A clay designed for a special purpose. It is created by blending different clays of by adding to clays other materials, such as feldspar and flint in order to produce a desired workability, maturing temperature, or finished result. A clay body is the result of mans technology. Cobalt: One of the strongest coloring oxides used by the potter. Cobalt creates a dark dense royal blue in most cases.

  • Archaeological and Historic Pottery Production Sites Guidelines for Best Practice Summary
    Archaeological and Historic Pottery Production Sites Guidelines for Best Practice Summary This document provides practical guidance on how to investigate sites where pottery production has taken place. It describes how to anticipate and locate pottery production sites and the types of evidence that may be found. This document also provides advice on the available methods and strategies for examining, recording and sampling features and finds of various types at each stage of the work. The different techniques for establishing the date of pottery production, and for characterising the products of a site, are given particular emphasis. This document was compiled by Harriet White, Sarah Paynter and Duncan Brown with contributions by Joanne Best, Chris Cumberpatch, David Dawson, Peter Ellis, Jane Evans, Laurence Jones, Oliver Kent, Gareth Perry, The Prince’s Regeneration Trust, Ian Roberts, Kerry Tyler and Ann Woodward. It is one of four Historic England publications concerning industrial processes in the past, the other three being: ■ Science for Historic Industries: Guidelines for the Investigation of 17th- to 19th- Century Industries ■ Archaeological Evidence for Glassworking: Guidelines for Best Practice ■ Archaeometallurgy: Guidelines for Best Practice.

  • Bisques and Biscuits
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Bisques and Biscuits The word biscuit (from the Middle French bescuit) is derived from the Latin words bis (twice) and coquere, coctus (to cook, cooked). The crustaceans in a French bisque are twice-cooked, as well, first sautéed lightly in their shells, then simmered in a mixture of wine and aromatic ingredients (before being strained), followed by the addition of cream. But in New Orleans, things are different. First of all, the etymology of the word bisque (meaning that cream- ladened Gallic variety) is thought to have originated from Biscay, as in the Bay of Biscay (and not from the same roots as biscuit). On some medieval maps, the Bay of Biscay is designated as El Mar del los Vascos (the Basque Sea). It’s that seafood-rich body of water nestled between Spain and France. Secondly, the classical French culinary traditions of bisque preparation have been superseded by South Louisiana’s dark roux-based soup, brimming with butter, but devoid of the cream as in the European variety. And like a prize in a box of Cracker Jack, our local version has flavorful stuffing encased in each crawfish head (the large red thorax shell), unsuccessfully hiding in our bowl. The famed international writer Lafcadio Hearn, who spent a decade in New Orleans, wrote about stuffing the heads and preparing the bisque “A LA CREOLE” back in 1885 in his popular La Cuisine Créole, a fine collection of culinary recipes from leading New Orleans Creole chefs and housewives.
