While much progress has been made, mostly on rebuilding the well-known kilns, most potters are still struggling to get back to work. 28 Semper Fidelis by Tom Hubbard Sometimes, a personal journey in clay can result in the forging of new relationships, or strengthening of existing relationships. This is a story about a personal journey and a relationship that is not affected by ceramic objects, but exists entirely within them. 30 Eva Zeisel, 19062 011 by Margaret Carney Well-respected ceramic designer passes at the age of 105.

Photo: David Stevenson. 52 www.ceramicsmonthly.org march 2012 7 from the editor respond to [email protected] One thing you almost never hear potters say is that they like trimming plates. I can’t think of anyone I know whose reason for getting up and going to the studio every day is the prospect of removing half of the clay they just threw (if this is not how you trim plates, then you may actually be making shallow bowls). But I just trimmed about 20 plates, and I have to say that it became quite enjoyable by the end. My guess is that this is because I got pretty good at it about a third of the way in. (One of the reasons I made so many to begin with was to account for this, in case I could not revisit that fi rst third to tighten them up.) Another reason I really enjoyed it is that I have discovered the extra insurance of a double foot ring. I established the outer foot ring, then divided the radius in two and cut another foot ring at that smaller radius. This supports the center of the plate and prevents the fl at bottom (because a plate should have a fl at bottom—otherwise it’s a bowl) from dishing down during fi ring and sticking the glaze (and the now-bowl) to the shelf. Can you tell I learned this lesson the hard way on the last batch of plates I made? Okay, I’m not really that particular about the difference between plates and bowls, but I am still a bit chafed about that last batch of plates sagging and warping.

  • Floor Tile Glass-Ceramic Glaze for Improvement of Glaze Surface
    Journal of the European Ceramic Society xxx (2006) xxx–xxx Floor tile glass-ceramic glaze for improvement of glaze surface properties Bijan Eftekhari Yekta a,∗, Parvin Alizadeh b, Leila Rezazadeh c a Ceramic Division, Department of Materials, Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran b School of Engineering, Tarbiat Modaress University, Tehran, Iran c Ceramic Division, Materials & Energy Research Centre, Tehran, Iran Received 16 September 2005; received in revised form 4 December 2005; accepted 28 December 2005 Abstract Simultaneous improvement of surface hardness and glossiness of floor tile glaze, without changing its firing temperature, was the main purpose of the present paper. Thus, various glazes in the system of CaO–MgO–SiO2–Al2O3–ZrO2 were prepared and their crystallization behaviors within a fast firing cycle were investigated. With increasing amounts of calcium and magnesium oxides to base glass, the optimum glass-ceramic glaze was obtained. The results showed that with increasing of CaO and MgO part weights in frit, the crystallization peak temperature was gradually decreased and the intensities of diopside and zirconium silicate were increased. The comparison of micro hardness for the optimum glass ceramic glaze derived in this work with a traditional one used in floor tile industries indicates an improvement of 21%. It was found that the glaze hardness not only depend on the amount and type of crystalline phases, but also on the residual glass composition. Furthermore, it was observed that the glaze micro hardness is only slightly affected by thermal expansion mismatch of body and glaze. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    From Budapest to New York: The Odyssey of the Polanyis Judith Szapor This article is a short version of Chapter 4 of my manuscript, entitled "The Hungarian Pocahontas;" The Life and Times of Laura Polanyi, 1882-1959, to be published by the University of Toronto Press. In the preceding chapters I describe the first stages of the Polanyis' Odyssey. It included the emigration from Hungary of Laura Polanyi's brothers, Adolf, Karl and Michael, to Italy, Austria and Germany, respectively. They left Hungary, along with scores of left-wing intellectuals, during the period of right-wing repression that followed the post-war demo- cratic and Bolshevik revolutions. By 1939, both Michael and Karl had settled in England. As for Laura Polanyi's immediate family, in the late 1920s and early 1930s her children, Michael, Eva and George Strieker all studied and worked in Austria and Germany. While the latter, her youngest was completing his studies at the University of Vienna, Michael and Eva took a detour to the Soviet Union. By 1932, both had taken up positions as "foreign experts," Michael as a patent expert in Moscow, Eva as a designer, eventually working for the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in Leningrad. Although keeping her homes in Budapest — where her husband lived — and Vienna, Laura accompanied her children to the Soviet Union for extended periods of time. She was there when, in May 1936, Eva was arrested and accused with participating in a plot to assassinate Stalin. Fourteen months later, in September 1937, when Eva was released and expelled from the Soviet Union, the family gathered in Vienna, preparing to leave for the United States.

  • Development of a Glass-Ceramic Glaze Formulated from Industrial Residues to Improve the Mechanical Properties of the Porcelain Stoneware Tiles
    ABSTRACT TO THE WORKSHOP: VITROGEOWASTES, Elche, sept 2017 Development of a glass-ceramic glaze formulated from industrial residues to improve the mechanical properties of the porcelain stoneware tiles. E. Barrachina1, M. Esquinas2, J. Llop2, M.D. Notari2, J.B. Carda1 1 Department of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, Universitat Jaume I, Castellón, 12071 (Spain) 2 Superior School of Ceramic in l´Alcora, Castellón 12110 (Spain) ABSTRACT In this research a mixture of 90%wt of industrial residues (recycled soda-lime glass and ashes from a coal power thermal plant) have been vitrified for their use as “secondary raw material”. Then, a glaze suspension was prepared to be applied as a glaze suspension on the porcelain stoneware tile. The tested pieces have been fired by a conventional porcelain cycle at 1180ºC of maximum temperature. The XRD, XRF, SEM/EDS and the dilatometric analysis have been the instrumental techniques used to characterize the final material. Finally, an ecological glass-ceramic glaze perfectly fitting on porcelain ceramic tile has been produced, exhibiting a unique phase, anorthite, which ensures a high flexural strength (around 96 MPa) and a significant Vickers microhardness of 250 GPa, improving the mechanical properties of a conventional the porcelain ceramic tile. Keywords Circular economy, revalorization of industrial waste, glass-ceramic glaze, porcelain stoneware, mechanical properties 1. Introduction Citizen environmental awareness has increased in the past decade, due to the publication of many studies on the impacts of environmental degradation. In that sense, scientific research is contributing to arouse public awareness about the new technological challenges in society. One of the concepts which at the moment seems to be proliferating in a significant way is the circular economy.

Extremely high Pb concentrations were measured in personal and indoor air samples, household surface dust samples, and household soil samples. Personal air Pb concentrations for workers performing pottery firing and glazing were up to 454 g/m3. Results from indoor air samples indicate that airborne Pb concentrations were lower during nonglazing period compared to the glazing period. Soil Pb concentrations measured in 17 homes ranged from 0.39 to 19.8 mg/g. Dust Pb loading on surfaces of household items, hands, and clothes of a worker ranged from 172 to 33 060 g/f t 2.
