The reserves of light firing clays in Jamaica (2.20.0l 2. Things Jamaican and/or the Ceramic Manufacturing Complex will, in future, produce mainly red-firing bodies (Section 2.20.0) 3. The reserves of clay of Castleton, on which Things Jamaican presently depend, are relatively small but will suffice for some time to meet the requirements of both the above enterprise and the Ceramic Manu­ facturing Complex. 4. The red clay of the Liguanea formation used by Clays of Jamaica and others will become unavailable possib­ ly within a year (Section 2.30.0} s. The nearest available substitute for it are the clays from Knollis, '1'ulloch, and Sydenham. (Section 2. 30. 0) 6. Since neither the characteristics nor the reserves of these clays are known, these deposits will hav~ 4ic be drilled to ascertain reserve and tested for their brickmaking properties (Section 2.30.0). 7. This will best be done by the Geological survey Depart­ ment and the Mineral Resources Division's Ceramic Laboratory (Section 2.30.0) 8. A revised Project Document for submission to the E.E.C. Commission has been prepared (Chapter 3.10.0) 9. Based on market estimates (Section 3.21.0., 3.22.0., 3.23.0} equipment specifications were included (Section 3. 2 5. 0. , 3. 30. 0. , 3. 31. 0. , 3) 10 'The additional covered area necessary to accomodate - iv - the new equipment was calculated in Section 3.40.0. 11. The bricks manufactured at Clays of Jamaica will al- ways be face bricks intended for decorative purposes because of the competition of concrete blocks. (In order to compete with it the clay brick would have to sell for less than J$0.20.) {Section 4.10.0) 12. The double-shaft mixer of Clays of Jamaica has to be repaired as soon as possible (Section 4.20.0). 13. Longer-range solutions to this enterprise's problems include: - the administration of the enterprise will have to be completely re-organized in the terms of Section 4.30.0. - constant equpment maintenance must be available at all times. (Section 4.30.0) - a drying shed open to air must be provided to accelerate drying.(Section 4.30.0) - the transport to and :rom sheds should be accom- pllshed by lifters carrying brick-loaded frarnes.(Section 4.30.0) - as soon as possible the brick-mdking equipment should be complemented by a set of laminating rolls. (Section 4. 30. u) 14. The equipment and personnel requirements for the Scien- tific Research. Ccuncil' s Ceramic laboratory were prepared I (Chapter 5.00.0) - ----- - ....- --j - v - 15. The qualifications of the R. & D. personnel (Chapter 5. 30. 0 l are of course tli.e Eaximum recom­ mended and mig~t temporarily be relaxed if sufficiently qualified candidates are not imme­ diately forthcoming. (Section 5.20.0} 16. The specified posts need not be £illed all at once and preference will best be given to determinate fields of activities over others as dictated by the needs of the country and its development policy. (Section 5.30.0) 17. It's even feasible that one officer may come to cover more than one field of R. & D. activity in accordance with affinity and volume of work involved in each. (Section 5.30.0) 18. The list of laboratory and pilot plant equipment intends to be inclusive to allow R. & D. work in the field of the most common ceramic products. (Section 5.30.0) 19. Its procurement will best be gradual and perhaps piecemeal, the criterion being the degree of pri­ ority given to certain fields over others as dic­ tated by the country's development policy. (Section 5.30.0) ---- - - ---1 1.00.0 IntrC'duction The ceramic industry of Jamaica has been re­ ceiving special attention of the Government as it has been recognized that it had a potential for growth on a scale commensurate with the size of the country. It is also thought that a properly oriented ceramic industry could contribute con­ siderably to the country's export efforts.

  • Material Imperfection: Mapping Form Through Memory
    Material Imperfection: Mapping Form Through Memory THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ashley Marie Neukamm Graduate Program in Art The Ohio State University 2014 Master’s Examination Committee: Rebecca Harvey, Advisor Alison Crocetta Steven Thurston Copyright by Ashley Marie Neukamm 2014 Abstract The trajectory of this thesis will chronicle the evolution of my MFA candidacy research at The Ohio State University. My work began with an interest in surface that ultimately shifted to a procedure and material-oriented practice that expresses my desire to map memory through ceramic process. My vessels push against traditional notions of functionality combined with a desire to interact with form. Within the realm of ceramic form, issues of flaws and beauty within functional wares drive my work. Using variations of the multiple, I explore individuality. Substantial forms that emphasize the rims, body, and feet of the vessels provide areas for modification. Variation is also derived from anomalies in the ceramic material. I push the clay to its physical limits, testing the edge of functionality, and looking for the moment where engagement meets use. ii Dedication For my parents who inspired me to follow my passions and who have unconditionally believed in me. iii Acknowledgments While it hasn’t always been easy, I am so grateful for the wisdom, advice, and encouragement from my advisor Rebecca Harvey, and committee members Alison Crocetta and Steven Thurston. Thank you so much for all your support! iv Vita 2006 ...............................................................

Presented by Boston Valley Terra Cotta and the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning and supported by the UB Sustainable Manufacturing and Advanced Robotic Technologies (SMART), the weeklong workshop combines the models of academic research, artistic experimentation and industry expertise to explore the design of ceramic components for large-scale production. This year’s event will be highlighted with a keynote presentation from Christopher Sharples, Principal of SHoP Architects. Architecture’s top professionals from SHoP Architects, AECOM, Morphosis, Radical Craft, The Matter Factory, Sasaki and Studio NYL will form blended teams to tackle a variety of theoretical and practical challenges designing ceramic assemblies for high-performance buildings. Team members explore and learn from a leader in architectural ceramic manufacturing, Boston Valley Terra Cotta, with assistance from the faculty and students from the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning and Alfred University. Following two successful events, this year’s ACAWorkshop looks to build upon the knowledge gained from the previous workshops.
