Not only does this unique handbook provide a superb, step-by-step photo-and-text descrip- tion of every stage of pottery making, from clay to finished pot; this exciting book presents valuable reference material and a magnificent gallery of pottery masterpieces. The author de- scribes the characteristics of clay; preparing clay for use; ways of making pottery without a wheel--slab, pinch, coil, and similar methods; how to draw a pot on a wheel; how to trim, handle, and decorate the finished pot; how to glaze and fire the pot. Containing directories of schools, museum collections, craft organizations, pottery suppliers, and a glossary of pottery terms, no book has ever covered the subject as thoroughly and effec- tively as Pottery Step-By-Step.

We know children should never be left to fire a ceramic kiln (not even if it's a likeness of her teacher). But, our kilns are so easy to operate that children sometimes get the idea that they could handle the job. This easy operation is one of the reasons our kilns are so perfect for use in schools. For example, all five of our models have a completely reliable automatic shut-off that's built right into the kiln. This safeguards against over-firing. We also have a dust-proof lid that eliminates siftina. And you can fire a Skutt Kiln every day without forced cooling. This page isn't big enough to list all the advantages of our kiln.

Ceramics has long been a medium used in many contexts; industry, design, architecture, science/technology and fine art. American ceramic history evolved in each area within studios, schools, laboratories, and factories. The history of American Ceramics reflects European and Asian influences and includes a parallel and important Native American tradition. Coursework will involve weekly reading and active participation in seminar discussions. In class group projects will draw connections between historical precedents in each category of ceramic practice relating these to the contemporary discourse and production methods. Independent research of personal historical and contemporary influences will be presented in a PowerPoint lecture. You will work individually and in groups to trace aesthetics, techniques, and concepts started during the industrial revolution evolving forward to contemporary practices. A suggested bibliography citing noteworthy historical resources as well as CFile Weekly, an online journal will provide you the foundation for independent research reading. Along with the seminar surveying the evolution of American Ceramics you will work on your studio art. Your progress will be evaluated during group mid-term and final critiques.

    Voulkos: the Breakthrough Years Is First Exhibition Devoted to Pivotal Early Works by Peter Voulkos

    VOULKOS: THE BREAKTHROUGH YEARS IS FIRST EXHIBITION DEVOTED TO PIVOTAL EARLY WORKS BY PETER VOULKOS NEW YORK, NY (October 18, 2016) – The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) presents Voulkos: The Breakthrough Years, on view from October 18, 2016, through March 15, 2017. Spanning the years 1953–1968, the exhibition is the first to focus exclusively on the early career of Peter Voulkos, whose radical techniques and ideas opened up new possibilities for clay that are still being felt today. In the words of Glenn Adamson, the co-curator of the exhibition, “Nearly everyone involved in ceramic art has a Voulkos story to tell. He was a charismatic figure, and his influence was tremendously important for the history of the medium. This exhibition gets past the personality, and follows the progression of his ideas in this crucial period of his career. It is fascinating to see him wrestling his materials into new forms, producing one breakthrough moment after another.” Initially trained as a traditional potter, Voulkos defied mid-century craft dictums of proper technique and form to completely reinvent clay as a medium. He combined wheel throwing with slab building, traditional glazes with epoxy paint, figuration with abstraction, and made huge sculptural structures with complex internal engineering. Rocking Pot, an iconic early example, is a massive upside-down bowl punctured with saber-like forms penetrating the exterior walls. Intentionally kinetic, the sculpture is a mockery of the rule that properly made ceramics should never rock on a flat surface. 2 COLUMBUS CIRCLE NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019 P 212.299.7777 MADMUSEUM.ORG Though Voulkos would continue to work in bronze, paint, and printmaking for the remainder of his career, ceramics was the medium he always found the most instinctive: “Now me and a ball of clay, we’ll get together and it’s perfect,” he once said.
