    THE BULBS A conceptual artwork cast in porcelain Bachelor’s Thesis Hämeenlinna University Center Degree Program in Design Spring 2021 Anna Siukola Degree Program in Design Abstract Hämeenlinna University Center Author Anna Siukola Year 2021 Subject The Bulbs. A conceptual artwork cast in porcelain Supervisors Helena Leppänen, Mirja Niemelä The aim of this thesis is to create a porcelain artwork by using slipcasting. The work explains what slip means, what it is composed of and how it is produced; further on, it studies surface decoration applications such as glazes; and finally, it presents the created cast porcelain artwork variations. The thesis consists of a knowledge base and an implementation part. In the theoretical part, a porcelain slip, high-fire glazes, the principles of creating them, and what happens to the compounds in an electric kiln during firings, are studied. The target of this research is to build a theoretical platform supporting the making process. The practical part demonstrates the process of creating the artwork, which is a combination of cast porcelain bulbs of various shapes and sizes. The porcelain slip is created and used for casting, and the glazes are made and used for the surface decoration, the porcelain bulbs are finalized. Some bulbs are glazed partially, and some are left unglazed – to show the beauty of the contrast of a stunningly white porcelain and bright glazes. The final artwork variations are multi-colored and the parts within them – all have an original look. The artwork theme presented in this work is only one of possible variations. Depending on the number of bulbs, and the means of their attachments, they can be easily re-assembled into new artistic installations.

    I AP42 Section: 111.7 - Reference: 4 Title: Modern Ceramic Engineering: Properties Processing, And Use In Design, D. W. Richerson, I Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, NY, 1982. I1 PROCESSING OF CERAMICS The relationships among atomic bonding, crystal structure, and properties for ceramics, metals, and polymers were discussed in Part I. It was shown that the theoretical strength is controlled by the strength of bonding, but that in actual ceramic components the theoretical strength is not achieved due to flaws in the fabricated material. The objectives of Part Il are to review the fabrication processes used for manufacturing ceramic compo- nents, determine where in these processes strength-limiting flaws are likely to occur, and provide the reader with approaches for detecting these flaws and worldng with the ceramic fabricator to eliminate them. Most ceramic fabrication processes begin with finely ground powder. Chapter 5 describes the criteria for selection of the starting powder, meth- ods of achieving the proper particle size distribution, and requirement8 for pretreating the powder before it can be formed into the desired wm- ponent. Chapter 6 describes the processes used to form the ceramic powders into the component shapes. Uniaxial and isostatic pressing, slip casting, emion, injection molding, tape forming, and green machining are included. The shapes resulting from the forming processes described in Chap. 6 consist essentially of powder compacts that must be densified by high- temperature processing before they will have adequate strength and other properties. The mechanisms and processes for densification are explored in Chap. 7. Some processes combine formtng and densification in a single step.

It was exciting to see such a wonderful range of material, form, and surfaces. I was particularly drawn to the amount of character and playfulness in many of these submissions. Many left such a lingering image in mind after viewing them that proved their quality and skill to be unforgettable. I think the toughest choice in this show will be which cup to take home!” — Christina Erives “It was a great pleasure to participate in the jurying process. All of the outstanding artists that submitted cups should be commended. Along with the demonstration of technical skill, I looked for artistic expression that embodies both esthetic quality and originality. Each of the cups we reviewed had exceptional desirable characteristics and choosing a winner was challenging indeed.” — Masa Sasaki FEATURING THE WORK OF: Hadi Abbas (Orlando, FL) Camilla Ascher (Baltimore, MD) Casey Beck (St. Paul, MN) Eve Behar (Sag Harbor, NY) Collin Blackmore (Earlville, NY) Sandy Blain (Tempe, AZ) Tracy L.

SONOMA COUNTY MUSEUM 425 Seventh Street, Santa Rosa CA 95401 T. 707-579-1500 F. 707-579-4849 www.sonomacountymuseum.org INTRODUCTION Marguerite Wildenhain (1896-1985) was a Bauhaus trained Master Potter. Born in Lyon, France her family moved first to Germany then to England and later at the “onset of WWI” back to Germany. There Wildenhain first encountered the Bauhaus – a school of art and design that strove to bring the elevated title of artist back to its origin in craft – holding to the idea that a good artist was also a good craftsperson and vice versa. Most modern and contemporary design can be traced back to the Bauhaus, which exalted sleekness and functionality along with the ability to mass produce objects. Edith Heath was a potter and gifted form giver who started Heath Ceramics in 1946 where it continues today in its original factory in Sausalito, California. She is considered an influential mid-century American potter whose pottery is one of the few remaining.

  • Bisque Or Biscuit: the First Firing a Pot Undergoes to Prepare It for Glazing
    Glossary of Ceramic Terms: Introduction to Ceramic Terms and Definitions Bisque or Biscuit: The first firing a pot undergoes to prepare it for glazing. In industry this is done at a higher temperature than the subsequent glaze firing, the reverse is usually true of the studio potter. Burnishing: A technique where the Leather hard clay is polished with a hard instrument to force the smallest clay particles to the surface creating a soft sheen. This surface remains after the pot is fired so long as the firing temperature is kept below 1100oC. Clay: AL2O3 2SiO2 2H2O. The decomposition of Granite through the process of Kaolinization creates clay (see Kaolinization). Clay is a mineral with a plate (platelet) like structure; it is these plates, (about 0.5 microns across) when lubricated with water, slide against each other to form the plastic mass we know as clay (see Water). 'Primary ' clays are those found close to the area of Kaolinization and hence the purest (Kaolin or China Clays). Secondary clays are those moved by water away form the site of Kaolinization and get progressively more plastic and less pure (Ball Clays, Fire clays, Earthenwares). Clay Body: A clay designed for a special purpose. It is created by blending different clays of by adding to clays other materials, such as feldspar and flint in order to produce a desired workability, maturing temperature, or finished result. A clay body is the result of mans technology. Cobalt: One of the strongest coloring oxides used by the potter. Cobalt creates a dark dense royal blue in most cases.

SCHMITZ JUDITH SALOMON JANET R. KELLNER Dr. R. H. Johnston, Dean r^ROPOSAL The aim of this thesis will be to explore mass-production techniques available for the studio potter. These will be a blending of industrial techniques of slip-casting and jiggering with wheel-thrown work. The potter's wheel will be used as a basis for experimenting with these processes. Fabrication of master molds and working molds, development of clay bodies suited for this type of fabrication and manipulation of the molded forms will be the main emphasis of this work.

For thousands of years, potters have used molds both for forming and decorating and often both have been accomplished at the same time. Whether you choose to try press molds with slabs of clay or slip-casting molds for slip-cast pieces, you’ll discover that molds provide a way to create uniform pieces that can save you time and provide you with the means to concentrate on surface decorations. How to Make a Model and a Mold for Slip-casting by Andrew Gilliatt Learn how to make a model for a shape that you create a mold from. Whether simple or complex, you’ll need to follow the same steps for figuring out to make an original model then determining the best way to cast the mold pieces. How to Make and Apply Decals to Slip-cast Vessels by Linda Gates One of the advantages of slip-cast work is the smooth surface, which is perfect for adding decals. Linda Gates shows you how to slip-cast smooth pieces then how to create decals and apply them.
