A'pril 1970 7 TEACHING CERAMICS SUGGESTIONS CAN BE A JOY... [rom our readers

FOOD-COLORED GLAZES Looking over your September issue, I remembered some- thing that stayed with me from "Suggestions" of several years ago. I liked the idea, which was to use colored inks to distinguish between coats of glaze. But somehow I never got around to having the inks available at the right time. Lately, because I had done some miniature sculptures and wanted to experiment with gloss glaze and matt on the same piece, I found that the raw glazes were exactly the same color, and I couldn't tell "where I had been." Suddenly I realized my basic set of food colors was the answer. I could add color to one of these and thus distinguish between coats and distinguish between glazes. I'd like to add my bit to your "Suggestions" column, since I have gained so much from it in the past. ---Mrs. B. H. Hawks, Bennington, Vt.

TIMERS FOR ENAMELISTS Two kitchen aids can prove to be most helpful in the enamel studio as firing aids. I have a three-minute egg timer, the glass-tube and sand type, that is just about right to place near the kiln and use as a timer for most enamel pieces being fired. If I want to do another task that calls me away from the kiln area while I am firing, I set my automatic kitchen timer, which gives a loud ring when the approximate firing time has elapsed. --Mrs. E. E. Longworth, REWARD CERAMIC COLOR MFRS., INC. Newton, Mass. 314 Hammonds Ferry Road, Glen Burnie, Md. 21061 PLASTICS IN THE WORKSHOP How did we ever manage to muddle along in the work- shop before the advent of plastics? The list is endless. There are plastic sponges, manicure tools for use in sculpture or for sgraffito. Short ends of plastic tubes or straws are perfect for stamping holes in clay. Plastic baskets are excellent for drying B&I your wares. Used upside down in groups or stacked for your heavier pieces, they permit air to circulate freely under your clay. POTTERY Squeeze bottles for glaze or slip trailing work very well. Most versatile of all is the plastic bleach bottle. This can be MAKER cut apart and used in many ways. The lower half can make an excellent Power Driven container for slip or glaze or to hold water for moistening scraps of dry clay. It can even be used as a drape shape. Variable Speed The upper half, inverted, becomes a large funnel. If you keep the screw top on, it even becomes a scoop with a very substantial handle. Gut apart, it can be made into various rib shapes that are useful in scraping clay forms. Best of all, these ribs $59so do not rust or disintegrate as their metal counterparts do.

16 Ceramics Monthly Goblets by MAYER SHATTER

As a STUDIO POTTER looking for new items to include in my line of production pottery, I had occasion a few years ago to develop a goblet that would be suitable for use with a variety of beverages. I wanted a goblet that was quick to throw, graceful to behold, and one with a life of its own. My solution was to do goblets in multiples, throwing off the hump. The stem was done first, then the cup,

A'pril 1970 21 glaze kiln is often loaded with shelf after shelf of glazed chime shapes, with only 1" posts between the shelves. We also feel that the kiln should be allowed to cool naturally before it is opened. If your chime pieces are tucked into a kiln loaded with other ware, fire as usual, but do allow it to cool completely before unloading. To string your chimes by our method, you will need to have these components within reach: a brass or metalized plastic curtain ring about one inch in diameter or larger; a pair of scissors: a four-inch length of plastic- covered wire (the kind used for tying up plants in the garden): a roll of monofilament nylon fishing line (10 or 12 lb. test is good for small chimes, but larger, heavier chimes will need a sturdier line -- 20 or 30 lb. test) ; and, of course, the top element. Attach the brass ring to a hook or coat hanger with the plastlc-covered wire. (We often string up as many as ten chimes at a sitting, so a heavy cord stretched between a door knob and a sturdy chair is most con- venient for us.) Now, with the fishing line, tie the top piece to the brass ring, allowing it to hang at least three inches below the brass ring. Then tie on the hanging pieces, so that they hang at a pleasing level, at least five inches below the top piece. Add variation by hanging each chiming piece slightly higher or lower than the next one, making sure each will ring against an adjoining one when the chime sways. Note on stringing ring-top chimes: Thread a con- tinuous piece of nylon line through the brass ring and through each of these equidistant-spaced holes in the clay ring. Knot the ends tightly at the brass ring. Now cut a piece of line of an appropriate length (a little more than twice the distance the average pendant will hang). Tie one end to a chime, bring the line up through a hole in the clay ring, then through the brass ring, and down through an opposite hole in the clay ring. Tie this end to another chime piece. Continue in this manner until all holes are used. Balance the chiming pieces, making sure each can touch another. To keep the chime properly balanced, tie all lines securely in place directly underneath the brass ring. A piece of driftwood makes an appealing top element for wind chimes. Drill small-diameter holes, about Y2 inch deep, spaced according to plan. Insert both ends of a short length of nylon line in a hole, and secure it by tamping in a tightly-fittlng length of dowel. This leaves a tiny loop of nylon line to which the chime piece can be tied. Two or three such loops on the top side of the driftwood will be needed for attaching the supporting line and ring. You are sure to enjoy your chimes, whether you make one, or dozens. Part of their appeal lies in the fact that the beginner can make a simple one, the expert a sophisticated one. Each will make a lovely sound.

22 Ceramics Monthl), Ceramics by Geff Reed

~z~,~ - .~ -:.- -.--

RADFORD COLLEGE ART GALLERY, Radford, Virginia, staged a one-man show of ceramic work by Geff Reed from January 17 through February 7. The work displayed ranged from utilitarian to abstract, indicating Mr. Reed's versatility as a traditional craftsman and an experimental potter as well. A few of the ceramic pieces from the show are pictured here. Geff Reed has attended Colorado College, Kansas University, Alfred University, and the University of Michigan. In his work at Kansas he served as assistant to Sheldon Carey; he acted in the same capacity under John Stephenson at Michigan. Mr. Reed has taught at the Ann Arbor Potter's Guild and presently is ceramics instructor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
