Place leftover clay in a large plastic container or bucket that has a lid. 2. Fill the clay bucket with air temperature tap water until all the clay is completely submerged. 3. Replace lid firmly or cover opening with thick plastic sheeting and let sit for a week without stirring. 4. Check clay after approx. 5 days. Test this by digging your fingers into the clay. If it feels thick but like melted ice cream, it’s ready. 5. Lift the bucket and drain excess water into the sink. 6. Stir clay up until consistently thick before removing from container onto a kneading board. 7. Wrap clay tightly in thick plastic or store in plastic container with air tight lid until needed.

Taking Mieke Bal’s theory of exposition as a starting point, it explores how ‘gestures of showing’ have been used to frame art-oriented ceramic practice. Examining the gaps between the statements these gestures have made about and through ceramics, and the objects they seek to expose, it challenges the idea that ceramics as a category of artistic practice has ‘expanded.’ Instead, it forwards the idea that ceramics is an integrative practice, through which practitioners produce works that can be read within a range of artistic (and non-artistic) frameworks.

  • Modelling Clay Materials Used in Artworks: an Infrared Spectroscopic Investigation B
    Stuart et al. Herit Sci (2019) 7:86 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-019-0333-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Modelling clay materials used in artworks: an infrared spectroscopic investigation B. H. Stuart1* , P. S. Thomas2, M. Barrett3 and K. Head3 Abstract Modelling clays are utilised by artists for their malleable properties. One of the challenges in managing collections containing such materials is the variety of commercial compositions available and, therefore, the variation in the requirements for storage and maintenance of such artefacts. The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia is respon- sible for the care of a range of artworks that contain modelling materials, some of which show detrimental property changes and there is concern for the longevity of such works. The aim of the current research is to determine the compositions of the modelling materials utilised in works produced by diferent artists in the gallery’s collection. Infrared spectroscopy was used to identify the main constituents of samples collected from the works of four diferent artists and a variety of material types were determined. Oil-based, air-hardening and polymer clays of varying compo- sition were identifed in the survey of artworks. Signs of deterioration in particular artworks were able to be character- ised using spectroscopy, with the mechanisms identifed including loss and oxidation of the oil component. Where a polymer clay was chosen by one artist, the distortion of the artwork was due to fow of the material over time and demonstrates the need for an understanding of the long term properties of the materials being used.

  • Chances and Risks When Making Pottery in School Do Not Be Afraid of Ceramics!
    Chances and risks when making pottery in school Do not be afraid of ceramics! In a time when even with our youngest children in nursery school and primary school the visual, optical is thrusting forward through television, computer and the Internet, it seems to be advisable not to neglect the experience of haptic in art lessons. The fundamental experience of "gripping", "touching", "feeling" and "shaping" will open up a basic understanding for body and space and - apart from the visual experience - will lead to a uniformly felt interplay of all senses and thus to a holistic "experience of the self" . Making pottery - this means dealing with the plastic element of clay (earth) - seems to be ideal for this: Clay is inexpensive, easy to process, to be used in every age groups. Moreover, making pottery through the handling of traditional dishes or ceramic works of renowned artists is integral part of all historical epochs and styles. And: Making pottery is fun! Nevertheless, many workshops in schools are deserted, many kilns in schools are unused. Pedagogues sometimes feel a certain scepticism about the material and its conditions going far beyond the also existing attitude "not to get ones hands dirty". Not without good reason is the profession of a ceramist a 2-3 years' educational profession and the justified concerns of teachers with regard to technical problems and risks with clay and glaze often lead to starting back from pottery in lessons. New insights and developments in recent years, however, have simplified doing pottery and made it less risky: Good clay is the basis of everything.

  • Sculpting with Clay an Introduction Sculpting with Clay Clay Is an Incredibly Versatile Material, and Has Been Used to Create Everything from Vases to Venus’
    Sculpting with Clay An Introduction Sculpting with clay Clay is an incredibly versatile material, and has been used to create everything from vases to Venus’. It is used to create crafts, make miniatures for doll houses and small sets, and to design and make props and characters in the film industry. In this workshop we will explore clay as a medium, getting to know it’s properties and variations. We will look at tools and textures, make miniatures and learn how to create characters from the base armature through to fully fleshed out sculpts. Types of clay There are many varieties of clay which all have their own characteristics, making them better for using in certain projects. The prices and availability of different types of clay vary greatly. Some are used professionally for creating character sculpts or ceramics and so have higher price tags. The kinds of clays that are most readily available are childrens dough clays, but you can find a good range of craft-clays at hobby stores. You also need to pay attention to whether you want an air drying, oven drying or non-drying clay. They all have their pros and cons, but the main factor in which you use will be what you envision your final outcome to be. Do you want something permanently moveable? Are you making a doll or statuette? Or are you just looking to experiment and explore? Dough Clay It’s up to you which type of clay you decide to use, depending on your budget and access to materials, but all of the exercises in this workshop can be done using basic childrens’ dough clay or modelling clay.
