    Profile No.: 38 NIC Code: 23933 CEREMIC ARTS 1. INTRODUCTION: Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay. It may take forms including art ware, tile, figurines, sculpture, and tableware. Ceramic art is one of the arts, particularly the visual arts. Of these, it is one of the plastic arts. While some ceramics are considered fine art, some are considered to be decorative, industrial or applied art objects. Ceramics may also be considered artifacts in archaeology. Ceramic art can be made by one person or by a group of people. In a pottery or ceramic factory, a group of people design, manufacture and decorate the art ware. Products from a pottery are sometimes referred to as "art pottery".[1] In a one-person pottery studio, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery. Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made this way. In modern ceramic engineering usage, ceramics is the art and science of making objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the action of heat. It excludes glass and mosaic made from glass tesserae. There is a long history of ceramic art in almost all developed cultures, and often ceramic objects are all the artistic evidence left from vanished cultures. Elements of ceramic art, upon which different degrees of emphasis have been placed at different times, are the shape of the object, its decoration by painting, carving and other methods, and the glazing found on most ceramics. 2.

  • Painting with Overglazes
    There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint 5 a rose, because before he can do so he has to first forget all the roses that were Chapter ever painted. —Henri Matisse (1869–1954) Painting with Overglazes Many artists come to china painting with extensive experience in other art forms, particularly oil and watercolor painting. A few come from a ceramic background, seeking a more painterly approach. MOverglazing is a special art form in several ways, and occupies a distinctive niche in the con- tinuum from painting to glazing. Painters will enjoy the depth, luminosity, and permanence of china painting. Potters will delight in a medium that is more like painting than any other ceramic technique, and offers a full range of colors. Both groups will appreciate the fact that the raw colors are almost identical to the fired colors. What makes china painting truly unique is its application onto a glossy surface. This creates spe- cial challenges, but also special possibilities. The material is a powder suspended in a medium, and as such, is adaptable to any of the techniques used with any form of paint or ink. It may even be used dry, like metal enamels. As in all art forms, there is no right or wrong way to use china paint. There are only those meth- ods that work for you. What to Paint On Any fired ceramic object may be decorated with china paint. Whether it’s high- or low-fired, glazed or unglazed, you can china paint it some- how.

  • Collecting Canadian Hand Painted Porcelain from the 1880’S Onwards1 O Colecţie De Porţelan Pictat De Mână În Canada De La 1880 Până În Prezent
    MUZEUL NAŢIONAL Vol. XX 2008 COLLECTING CANADIAN HAND PAINTED PORCELAIN FROM THE 1880’S ONWARDS1 O COLECŢIE DE PORŢELAN PICTAT DE MÂNĂ ÎN CANADA DE LA 1880 PÂNĂ ÎN PREZENT Paula Gornescu-Vachon* Abstract After being practiced in the large factories of Europe, the art of decorating porcelain became an amateur domestic industry especially for women. In Canada, it mostly remained a feminine specialty that was linked to the Arts and Crafts Movement introduced into the country in the last quarter of the 19th century. Because the movement was North American in scope, it is important to compare developments in Canada with those in the United States. On the Canadian scene, the brothers John and James Griffiths were largely responsible for spreading of this “professional” hobby. The Cabot Commemorative State Dinner Service presented in 1898 to Lady Aberdeen, the Governor General’s wife, exemplifies the degree of skill attained by Canadian women artists of the time. The article highlights the achievements of several artists in the field from its beginnings in Canada. Key words: china painting, Canadian hand painted china, collectibles hand painted china porcelain, Canadian Historical Dinner Service, Alice Mary Hagen After being practiced in large factories in Europe, the art of decorating porcelain became an amateur domestic industry for many women. In Canada, this art, in which women were the most active, was linked to the Art and Crafts Movement introduced into the country in the last quarter of the 19th century. The movement was North American in scope, which inevitably leads us to compare the Canadian scene with developments across the border in the United States.
