ON SALE Mixing, Recycling & Pugging NOW! have never been easier! All-in-One De-airing Mixer-Pugmills The Bailey MXP is nothing short of amazing. It will reclaim all you scrap without having to slake. The twin- auger mixing blades mesh together and blend the clay faster and more effectively than a single auger mixer. The dedicated vacuum chamber with shredding screen in the pug section of the barrel provides superior concentrated vacuum. The clay quality is fantastic. MXP-100 Phil Brutto, York Public Schools, Nebraska “ I put every kind of dry or soft scrap into the Bailey mixer pugmill and my reclaim is immediately turned into another perfect batch of de-aired clay. You won’t find any lumps, air pockets or hard spots. The clay is perfect, batch after batch. It takes no time to load. You just start it and walk away. “ Phil Brutto, York Public Schools, Nebraska The New MX-50 Mixer is the perfect solution for mixing and recycling clay. Although non-deairing, the clay is effortlessly compacted and discharged as a pug. The two blade mixing action of the MX is so much faster and more thorough than single auger pug/mixers. The result is perfectly blended clay. The MX is also an exceptional value! Call for prices. “We couldn't do it without you at Walton Arts Center's Nadine Baum Studios. Every week our Bailey MX-50 mixer pugmill saves us money by recycling and the making of our own paper clay. This year over 350 adults and young people created in clay during studio classes and workshops.” Susan Hutchcroft, Studio Coordinator MX-50 Bailey Pottery Equipment Corporation PO Box 1577 Kingston NY 12402 TOLL FREE (800) 431-6067 Ceramics Monthly February 2006 (845) 339-3721 (Fax 5530) email: [email protected] Website: www.baileypottery.com MONTHLY www.ceramicsmonthly.org Editorial [email protected] telephone: (614) 895-4213 fax: (614) 891-8960 editor Sherman Hall assistant editor Renée Fairchild assistant editor Jennifer Poellot technical editor Phil Berneburg editorial intern Christine Dippold publisher Charles Spahr Advertising/Classifieds [email protected] (614) 794-5809 fax: (614) 891-8960 classifi[email protected] (614) 794-5866 advertising manager Steve Hecker advertising services Debbie Plummer Subscriptions/Circulation customer service: (614) 794-5890 [email protected] Design/Production design Paula John production Jami Flannelly Editorial, advertising and circulation offices 735 Ceramic Place, Suite 100 Westerville, Ohio 43081 USA Editorial Advisory Board Linda Arbuckle; Professor, Ceramics, Univ. of Florida Tom Coleman; Studio Potter, Nevada Dick Lehman; Studio Potter, Indiana Meira Mathison; Director, Metchosin Art School, Canada Don Pilcher; Potter and Author, Illinois Bernard Pucker; Director, Pucker Gallery, Boston Phil Rogers; Potter and Author, Wales Mark Shapiro; Worthington, Massachusetts Susan York; Santa Fe, New Mexico Ceramics Monthly (ISSN 0009-0328) is published monthly, except July and September, by The American Ceramic Society, 735 Ceramic Pl., Suite 100, Westerville, Ohio 43081; www.ceramics.org.

  • Essential Character and Features of the Area 3
    Essential Character and Features of the Area 3 17 18 3.1 Townscape The townscape character of the Norland estate, despite being in origin a suburban development, is largely urban in style. Built as a speculative development, it was partic- ularly ambitious, given its location on what was, at the time, the outermost fringes of London. The estate was largely completed within 15 years. It was conceived on quite a grand scale, and laid out to a well-defined plan with a crescent mimick- ing Royal Crescent in Bath, garden squares and a wide avenue to provide a sense of unhurried space for family living. St James’s Church It included long views and vistas ending in feature buildings: St James’s Church and The Prince of Wales public house, the “flat iron” build- ing at 43 Portland Road, and the old Portland Arms (now The Cowshed), giving onto Clarendon Cross, are good examples. On a longer view down a street, a curved terrace may lead the eye away, or bring it to a building whose extra deco- ration or location adds interest, and variety (eg. 84 Princedale Road). Perhaps the most suburban street is Addison Avenue with its leafy vista up to the Garden sur- 32 Portland Road rounding the St. James’s Church. The front gar- dens here are well planted and of sufficient size to contribute significantly to the street scene. The urban environment comprises: ● formal street terraces with modest classical elevational detailing (as in Norland Square and Royal Crescent), ● the more articulated paired villas of St James’s Gardens and St Ann’s Villas, ● the many interesting variations in individual decorative detail treatment of Addison Avenue 22-24 Addison Avenue and Portland Road, and ● the informal cottagey or mews feeling of Ad- dison Place, Queensdale Place and Queens- dale Walk.

  • The Kensington District
    The Kensington District By G. E. Mitton The Kensington District When people speak of Kensington they generally mean a very small area lying north and south of the High Street; to this some might add South Kensington, the district bordering on the Cromwell and Brompton Roads, and possibly a few would remember to mention West Kensington as a far- away place, where there is an entrance to the Earl's Court Exhibition. But Kensington as a borough is both more and less than the above. It does not include all West Kensington, nor even the whole of Kensington Gardens, but it stretches up to Kensal Green on the north, taking in the cemetery, which is its extreme northerly limit. If we draw a somewhat wavering line from the west side of the cemetery, leaving outside the Roman Catholic cemetery, and continue from here to Uxbridge Road Station, thence to Addison Road Station, and thence again through West Brompton to Chelsea Station, we shall have traced roughly the western boundary of the borough. It covers an immense area, and it begins and ends in a cemetery, for at the south-western corner is the West London, locally known as the Brompton, Cemetery. In shape the borough is strikingly like a man's leg and foot in a top-boot. The western line already traced is the back of the leg, the Brompton Cemetery is the heel, the sole extends from here up Fulham Road and Walton Street, and ends at Hooper's Court, west of Sloane Street. This, it is true, makes a very much more pointed toe than is usual in a man's boot, for the line turns back immediately down the Brompton Road.

  • Production and Trade of Porcelain in China, 1000-1500
    Production and Trade of Porcelain in China, 1000-1500 Shelagh Vainker Ashmolean Museum, Oxford Email: [email protected] Just as the Song dynasty (960-1279) has been identified by economic historians as a peak after which no significant developments took place, so it is a period of culmination in the manufacture of ceramics. Between the 10th and 12th centuries, green, black or white high- fired wares that had been produced for centuries were made with finer bodies, smoother and more complex glazes and in a greater range of shapes than ever before, and in unprecedented quantities. They also became admired and moreover collected as objects of aesthetic, cultural and monetary value, a practice that had previously been restricted to works of art such as calligraphy and painting, or to the jades and bronze vessels associated with high antiquity and the authority to rule. This was also however the period in which was established China’s most enduring and famous kiln site, Jingdezhen. To that extent the period is not only a technological peak, but a pivotal one during which the centre of the ceramics industry began its shift from north to south China. At the time when the northern kilns were producing pieces for the imperial court and wares that would be adopted into the canon of connoisseur’s collectibles, southern kilns were making pots for everyday local use, and for export. In many instances, these imitated the northern wares in both technology and style; all were part of a country-wide industry with a distribution of manufacturing centres that was unprecedented and has not been repeated, for it is notable that during the pre-eminence of the north in potting, the south was also rich in kiln sites and products, while once the shift south had occurred no significant industry continued in north China.
