  • Phase Evolution of Ancient and Historical Ceramics
    EMU Notes in Mineralogy, Vol. 20 (2019), Chapter 6, 233–281 The struggle between thermodynamics and kinetics: Phase evolution of ancient and historical ceramics 1 2 ROBERT B. HEIMANN and MARINO MAGGETTI 1Am Stadtpark 2A, D-02826 Go¨rlitz, Germany [email protected] 2University of Fribourg, Dept. of Geosciences, Earth Sciences, Chemin du Muse´e6, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland [email protected] This contribution is dedicated to the memory of Professor Ursula Martius Franklin, a true pioneer of archaeometric research, who passed away at her home in Toronto on July 22, 2016, at the age of 94. Making ceramics by firing of clay is essentially a reversal of the natural weathering process of rocks. Millennia ago, potters invented simple pyrotechnologies to recombine the chemical compounds once separated by weathering in order to obtain what is more or less a rock-like product shaped and decorated according to need and preference. Whereas Nature reconsolidates clays by long-term diagenetic or metamorphic transformation processes, potters exploit a ‘short-cut’ of these processes that affects the state of equilibrium of the system being transformed thermally. This ‘short-cut’ is thought to be akin to the development of mineral-reaction textures resulting from disequilibria established during rapidly heated pyrometamorphic events (Grapes, 2006) involving contact aureoles or reactions with xenoliths. In contrast to most naturally consolidated clays, the solidified rock-like ceramic material inherits non-equilibrium and statistical states best described as ‘frozen-in’. The more or less high temperatures applied to clays during ceramic firing result in a distinct state of sintering that is dependent on the firing temperature, the duration of firing, the firing atmosphere, and the composition and grain-size distribution of the clay.

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.
