A sugestão que partiu dos Professores Alcinda Pinheiro de Sousa, Luísa Flora, Teresa Malafaia e Carlos Viana Ferreira foi imediatamente acolhida pelos Professores Álvaro Pina e João Flor, responsáveis máximos pelo Depar ta mento de Estudos Anglísticos da Faculdade de Letras e pelo Centro de Estudos Anglísticos da Universidade de Lisboa. Com o seu apoio, e com a cola bo ra ção empenhadíssima de um grupo mais alargado de colegas, o Instituto de Cultura Inglesa tomou a iniciativa de organizar um colóquio em homenagem ao Pro fes sor Hélio Alves. A direcção do Instituto de Cultura Norte-Americana desde logo se associou à iniciativa, que foi apoiada, ainda, pelo Conselho Directivo da Faculdade de Letras. Esta iniciativa obteve um caloroso acolhimento entre os colegas e discí - pulos do Professor Hélio, que compareceram em grande número, para pres tar o seu testemunho de amizade e apreço, tanto através da apre sen - tação de comu ni cações de índole científica, como através de palavras de reconheci mento e afecto. O presente volume de estudos em homenagem ao Professor Hélio Osvaldo Alves reconstitui essa ocasião de encontro e procura reflectir quer a dimensão científica do acontecimento como a sua dimensão afectiva. Assim, o livro que agora se apresenta é composto por duas partes. A primeira, com o título de ‘Testemunhos’, reúne as palavras com que amigos, colegas e discípulos recordaram a pessoa de Hélio Alves. A segunda parte, ‘Comu nicações’, inclui os textos de carácter científico apresentados e debatidos no colóquio, realizado em Novembro de 2003. 9 O LAGO DE TODOS OS RECURSOS ‘O lago de todos os recursos’ é uma expressão que o Professor Hélio tomou de empréstimo a E. P. Thompson, e adaptou, para baptizar um dos seus estudos sobre a ideia de Cultura. Escolhemos esse título para o colóquio que deu origem a este volume por ele sugerir as infinitas possibilidades de estudo e análise que se contêm na palavra Cultura, bem como a diversidade de escolhas e aproximações que os estudos de Cultura proporcionam. Entre essas aproximações, marcadas por um cunho muito pessoal, que o Professor Hélio nos deixou, recordo apenas um limerick autobiográfico, incluído no seu Pensar sem Senso, que nos cinco versos da sua estrutura imutável contém muito do sentido de humor e do sentido de cultura, como toda uma maneira de viver, do seu autor: Havia um certo autor de livrinhos Que resolveu tomar outros caminhos Pôs-se a pensar E a matutar, E viu que os caminhos iam dar aos livrinhos. Luísa Leal de Faria Lisboa, Março de 2004 10 Testemunhos Relatos Pessoais Rui Gonçalves Miranda / Fernando Xavier Gonçalves Instituto de Letras e Ciências Humanas, Universidade do Minho om os nossos relatos pessoais procurámos transmitir um pouco da experiência de todos os alunos de Licenciatura do Professor Hélio COsvaldo Alves. Antes de conhecer o Doutor Hélio pessoalmente, já muito conhecia sobre as suas aulas. Era difícil não se ouvir falar do Professor Hélio quando se entra para um curso de Inglês na Universidade do Minho. No meu caso, especialmente. A minha irmã tinha sido sua aluna uns anos antes (tive mesmo a oportunidade de estar presente numa ocasião em que ambos conversavam) e um meu amigo e colega de casa tinha feito um exame de Cultura Inglesa uns dias antes de as aulas começarem. Também os nossos colegas de Inglês-Alemão, como tinham esta disciplina no seu primeiro ano, falavam já das suas aulas, assim como os nossos colegas de curso mais velhos. Falava-se de aulas diferentes, de um sentido de humor apurado e de um rigor inquestionável. Um ano antes, comprara um livro de poemas de William Blake que, sem o saber, havia sido traduzido pelo Professor Hélio. O que fazia todo o sentido, visto que o que conhecia de William Blake, na altura, me havia sido transmitido pela minha irmã, que, por sua vez, o aprendera nas suas aulas de Cultura Inglesa. Portanto, quando entrei para a Universidade, desconhecia quase tudo, menos que teria um professor “muito fixe” no segundo ano. O consenso em torno das qualidades do Professor Hélio era, no mínimo, impressionante. Sobretudo porque vinha do público mais difícil de contentar: alunos universitários, ocupados sobretudo, como geralmente sempre estamos, em encontrar e apontar defeitos a (quase) tudo e todos que se nos deparam pela frente. Mas nem com tudo o que me havia sido dito eu me pude deixar de surpreender. 13 O LAGO DE TODOS OS RECURSOS Se por mais não fosse, sempre me lembraria daquelas aulas pelo material criteriosamente seleccionado, pela disposição cuidada e atraente com que o conhecimento era transmitido. Cada aula tinha o carácter de uma conferência, de uma palestra construída em detalhe e, ao mesmo tempo, com espontaneidade. Lembrar-me-ia, ainda, pela autonomia que nos era concedida no nosso estudo e pela maneira como o conhecimento era exposto, e nunca imposto. Não se pense, no entanto, que o ensino praticado seria neutro, ou desapaixonado. Muito pelo contrário. Havia uma transmissão de valores sociais e humanitários, sobretudo de ideias e acções que visaram sempre, de uma maneira ou outra, o progresso social das civilizações rumo à liberdade, à igualdade, à paz entre os povos e à solidariedade entre os homens. Mas havia muito mais. O que tornava as aulas diferentes poderia ser não tanto o que era ensinado (que o era também), mas sobretudo a forma como era ensinado. A matéria era transmitida como conhecimento, e as aulas eram mais que meras e contínuas preparações para um teste. Eram estradas de conhecimento, horizontes rasgados com referências a eventos, personalidades e obras de arte. Muito do que li a seguir, e muito do que continuo a ler, conheci-o por seu intermédio. E mesmo que a atenção dispensada aos alunos pelo Professor não fosse maior que o habitual (e era- o), a maneira como esclarecia uma dúvida ou elucidava uma questão deixava sempre transparecer uma educação e delicadeza raras. O Doutor Hélio acolhia sempre o aluno com um sorriso. Havia, no entanto, ainda algo mais. Era a sua presença cativante, o fascínio que transmitia. Os alunos universitários, sempre ansiosos por horas de “furo”, não se entusiasmavam quando o Professor Hélio, fosse por que motivo fosse, não podia comparecer. Os alunos sabiam que não ganhavam uma hora livre, mas que perdiam, antes, uma hora de liberdade intelectual e de educação cívica e pessoal. Os alunos, apesar de todos os seus defeitos, sabem respeitar e agradecer. Respeitam e agradecem a simpa tia do Doutor Hélio, a sua dedicação, e o seu exemplo ilustre e respeitável, dentro e fora de aula.

The 18th and 19th centuries are often regarded as the creative zenith of the industry, with potteries producing many superb quality pieces to rival the country’s finest. The foremost manufacturer in this period was the Leeds Pottery Company, established around 1770 in Hunslet. The company are best known for their creamware made from Cornish clay and given a translucent glaze. Although other potteries in the country made creamware, the Leeds product was of such a high quality that all creamware became popularly known as ‘Leedsware’. The company’s other products included blackware and drabware. The Leeds Pottery was perhaps the largest pottery in Yorkshire. In the early 1800s it used over 9000 tonnes of coal a year and exported to places such as Russia and Brazil. Business suffered in the later 1800s due to increased competition and the company closed in 1881. Production was restarted in 1888 by a ‘revivalist’ company which used old Leeds Pottery designs and labelled their products ‘Leeds Pottery’. The revivalist company closed in 1957. Another key manufacturer was Burmantofts Pottery, established around 1845 in the Burmantofts district of Leeds.

    Volume 18 (2011), Article 3 http://chinajapan.org/articles/18/3 Lim, Tai Wei “Re-centering Trade Periphery through Fired Clay: A Historiography of the Global Mapping of Japanese Trade Ceramics in the Premodern Global Trading Space” Sino-Japanese Studies 18 (2011), article 3. Abstract: A center-periphery system is one that is not static, but is constantly changing. It changes by virtue of technological developments, design innovations, shifting centers of economics and trade, developmental trajectories, and the historical sensitivities of cultural areas involved. To provide an empirical case study, this paper examines the material culture of Arita/Imari 有田/伊万里 trade ceramics in an effort to understand the dynamics of Japan’s regional and global position in the transition from periphery to the core of a global trading system. Sino-Japanese Studies http://chinajapan.org/articles/18/3 Re-centering Trade Periphery through Fired Clay: A Historiography of the Global Mapping of Japanese Trade Ceramics in the 1 Premodern Global Trading Space Lim Tai Wei 林大偉 Chinese University of Hong Kong Introduction Premodern global trade was first dominated by overland routes popularly characterized by the Silk Road, and its participants were mainly located in the vast Eurasian space of this global trading area. While there are many definitions of the Eurasian trading space that included the so-called Silk Road, some of the broadest definitions include the furthest ends of the premodern trading world. For example, Konuralp Ercilasun includes Japan in the broadest definition of the silk route at the farthest East Asian end.2 There are also differing interpretations of the term “Silk Road,” but most interpretations include both the overland as well as the maritime silk route.

  • Earthenware Clays
    Arbuckle Earthenware Earthenware Clays Earthenware usually means a porous clay body maturing between cone 06 – cone 01 (1873°F ‐ 2152°F). Absorption varies generally between 5% ‐20%. Earthenware clay is usually not fired to vitrification (a hard, dense, glassy, non‐absorbent state ‐ cf. porcelain). This means pieces with crazed glaze may seep liquids. Terra sigillata applied to the foot helps decrease absorption and reduce delayed crazing. Low fire fluxes melt over a shorter range than high fire materials, and firing an earthenware body to near vitrification usually results in a dense, brittle body with poor thermal shock resistance and increased warping and dunting potential. Although it is possible to fire terra cotta in a gas kiln in oxidation, this is often difficult to control. Reduced areas may be less absorbent than the rest of the body and cause problems in glazing. Most lowfire ware is fired in electric kilns. Gail Kendall, Tureen, handbuilt Raku firing and bodies are special cases. A less dense body has better thermal shock resistance and will insulate better. Earthenware generally shrinks less than stoneware and porcelain, and as a result is often used for sculpture. See Etruscan full‐size figure sculpture and sarcophagi in terra cotta. At low temperatures, glaze may look superficial & generally lacks the depth and richness of high fire glazes. The trade‐offs are: • a brighter palette and an extended range of color. Many commercial stains burn out before cone 10 or are fugitive in reduction. • accessible technology. Small electric test kilns may be able to plug into ordinary 115 volt outlets, bigger kilns usually require 208 or 220 volt service (the type required by many air conditioners and electric dryers).

  • General Condition Terms for Ceramics the Purpose of This Glossary Is To
    General Condition terms for Ceramics The purpose of this glossary is to provide you with a common language for the condition of ceramic items. Hardness the hardness of a ceramic is dependent on the type of clay used, its porosity and firing temperature. The following are simples classifications. Greenware Unfired clay articles. Earthenware- A glazed porous ceramic created by low temperature firing. Majolica or maiolica is tin glazed earthenware and overpainted with oxides developed in Majorca. Similar pottery is known in France as Faience and the UK as Deftware. Porcelain- Kaolin based ceramic body that has been fired between 1200oC- 1400°C vitrifying the composition becoming non porous Bisque-unglazed porcelain Flaws Flaws are defects, visible marks or inclusions made during the manufacturing process that should be included in the description. Damage Damage describes defects made through use, handling, cleaning or storage. Damage includes nicks, cracks, scratches, paint wear and crazing. Abrasion – Scuff marks or areas of concentrated scratches, generally caused by rubbing against another item over time. Accretions-build up or deposit of a foreign materials on a surface Efflorescence-white powdery or hard salt deposits that are located on the surface of the ceramic Spalling- loss from the separation of the ceramic layers due salts migrating through the body and glaze Flaking –lifting and separation of the glazing from the ceramic body without complete loss of the insecure area Light scratches - Scratches which do not score the surface of the item. Can be seen but not felt. Deep scratches - Scratches which score the surface of the item and can be felt with a fingernail.

    ADVERTISEMENT Semi-Annual Sale: Up to 60% Off ENTERTAINMENT & ARTS Ceramic art, once written off as mere craft, wins a brighter spotlight in the L.A. scene Visitors to the recent Scripps College Ceramic Annual consider “The Guardian,” a 2015 piece of stoneware, underglaze, glaze, resin and milk paint by Kyungmin Park. The longtime event is now joined by two new ceramics biennials, signaling a resurgence for the medium. (Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times) By LEAH OLLMAN APRIL 25, 2018 | 2:44 PM f anything is a sign of the elevated status of ceramics, it's the central place a kiln now occupies on the campus of CalArts. I Once in disrepair because of limited interest, the kiln is in high demand. The studio area for ceramics, once a neglected corner, has become "something of a social hub," reports Thomas Lawson, dean of the School of Art. "Ceramics has flourished at CalArts in sync with its resurgence all over." Painting has been pronounced dead enough times to render the claim meaningless, if not ludicrous. But has clay, that most primordial matter, ever been significant enough as an art medium to merit killing off? In the last decade, however, the spotlight has burned klieg-bright and kiln-hot, to the point where clay's standing in the wider art world has never been higher, the L.A. scene never more alive. Two museums have just launched ceramic biennials, complementing the Scripps College Ceramic Annual, the longest continuously running show of its kind in the country, which recently finished in its 74th iteration.
