Murphy For about five years during the late 1930s, the combination of inventive and artistic talent pro- vided by Walter D. Ford (1906-1988) and Paul V. Bogatay (1905-1972), gave life to Ford Ceramic Arts, Inc., a small and little-known Columbus, Ohio, firm specializing in ceramic art and design. The venture, at least in the beginning, was intimately associated with Ohio State University (OSU), from which Ford graduated in 1930 with a degree in Ceramic Engineering, and where Bogatay began his tenure as an instructor of design in 1934. In fact, the first plant, begun in 1936, was actually located on the OSU campus, at 319 West Tenth Avenue, now the site of Ohio State University’s School of Nursing. There two periodic kilns produced “decorated pottery and dinnerware, molded porcelain cameos, and advertising specialties.” Ford was president and ceramic engineer; Norman M. Sullivan, secretary, treasurer, and purchasing agent; Bogatay, art director. Subsequently, the company moved to 4591 North High Street, and Ford's brother, Byron E., became vice-president. Walter, or “Flivver” Ford, as he had been known since high school, was interested primarily in the engineering aspects of the venture, and it was several of his processes for producing photographic images in relief or intaglio on ceramics that distinguished the products of the company.

  • 2013 EFP Catalog 19 April
    Ephraim Pottery Studio Collection April 2013 Welcome! Dear pottery and tile enthusiasts, As you can see from this catalog, we’ve been busy working on new pottery and tiles over the past several months. While this is an ongo- ing process, we have also been taking a closer look at what we want our pottery to represent. Refocusing on our mission, we have been reminded how important the collaborative work environment is to our studio. When our artists bring their passion for their work to the group and are open to elevating their vision, boundaries seem to drop away. I like to think that our world would be a much better place if a collaborative approach could be emphasized in our homes, schools, and workplaces... in all areas of our lives, in fact. “We are better to- gether” is a motto that is in evidence every day at EFP. Many times in the creative process, we can develop a new concept most of the way quickly. Often, it’s that last 10% that requires work, grit and determination. It can take weeks, months, or even years to bring a new concept to fruition. Such has been the case with frames and stands for our tiles. Until recently, John Raymond was in charge of glaz- ing. As some of you know, John is also a talented woodworker who has been developing a line of quarter-sawn oak frames and stands for our tiles. While we have been able to display some of these at shows and in our galleries over the past year, we would like to make frames and stands available to all our customers.

  • Ceremic Arts
    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. PRODUCT & ITS APPLICATION: Ceramic arts have very ancient history and developed all over the world.

Abstract This thesis investigated Egyptian faience, an ancient ceramic material that consists of granular quartz or sand coated with an alkali-based glaze. Of interest is the pro- duction process of faience, in particular the raw materials and the glazing method. Previous investigations examined the production process using compositional and microstructural data from ancient and replicate faience. This study confirmed prior results by investigating faience beads produced in Abydos, Egypt during the 22nd Dynasty (c. 940–720 BC). Furthermore, this investigation improved upon earlier works by creating compositional mappings and analyzing previously over- looked parts of faience. Moreover, modern applications for faience technology were explored. i Table of Contents Abstract i List of Figures iv List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii Chapter 1 Egyptian Faience 1 1.1 Background ............................... 1 1.2 Production ............................... 3 1.2.1 Rawmaterials.......................... 4 1.2.2 Shaping ............................. 7 1.2.3 GlazingMethod......................... 8 1.2.4 Firing .............................

  • The Earliest Maiolica Ceramic Dishes in the Old Town in Vilnius
    THE EARLIEST MAIOLICA CERAMIC DISHES IN THE OLD TOWN IN VILNIUS MIGLĖ URBONAITĖ-UBĖ BALTICA 21–22 BALTICA Abstract The paper analyses maiolica ceramic dishes from the late 16th and early 17th centuries found in Vilnius’ Old Town. The items in question were the first imported maiolica dishes in the town. They are classified and their production sites are identified on the basis of their technical and stylistic characteristics, and in accordance with foreign analogies. Thus, five plates are as- signed to the Antwerp production centre, while the stylistic and manufacturing characteristics of another plate are found to be ARCHAEOLOGIA similar to the Haarlem and Antwerp maiolica production centres. One small bowl with religious inscriptions is assigned to the Faenza production centre in Italy. A fragment of a berrettino-type plate is associated with the Liguria region or Venice. The paper attempts to assess the significance of the first maiolica dishes in daily life in Vilnius in the late 16thand early 17th cen- turies. The relationship between the find spots and historical data suggests that four dishes could be associated with Catholic monasteries. During the period in question, maiolica ceramics were a rarity: they performed both an aesthetic and a luxury function; on three pieces of bottoms of plates, holes were found for hanging the plate on the wall. The information presented in the paper provides an opportunity to deepen our knowledge about maiolica dishes in Vilnius’ Old Town, which have not been investigated much, and to identify the prospects for further research. Key words: Vilnius’ Old Town, ceramic dishes, maiolica, Antwerp, Faenza, Liguria.

  • Seagrove Pottery Festivalandthecelebrationofseagrovepotters
    he town of Seagrove was named for Edwin G. Seagroves, a local official responsible for routing the TTrailroad through the area. According to local sources, after a unanimous decision to name the railroad station after Seagroves, the town name resulted from a sign painter running out of space and simply dropping the “s” from the end of the name. The railroad served Seagrove until December 31, 1951. The old train depot later became a pottery museum. Seagrove is located just 15 minutes south of Asheboro and approximately 40 miles northwest of Pinehurst. Seagrove’s pottery tradition dates back to the 1700s before the American Revolution. Many of the first area potters were English and German immigrants who produced primarily functional, glazed pottery. Due to the high quality of the local clay, the Plank Road passing through the town, and the railroad, Seagrove grew into a destination for pottery shoppers. As a result of the Industrial Revolution and the advent of modern food preparation, the popularity of Seagrove pottery rapidly decreased during the mid 1800s. For a time, whiskey jugs were a succesful EAGROVE EAGROVE PERSPECTIVE HISTORICAL source of income, but the beverage was outlawed and potteries continued their decline into the 1900s. The potteries struggled until around 1920, when they became popular with Northern tourists visiting S nearby Pinehurst. The new tourist industry marked a general change from utilitarian pottery to the addition of more decorative ware. After another decline from the 1950s through 1970s, a renewed interest in traditional pottery was beginning to sweep the area. In 1982, local citizens, recognizing the strength of preserving the history and heritage of their craft, began to celebrate annually the weekend before Thanksgiving by organizing the Seagrove Pottery Festival.
