Where the movement in the early days is referred to as 'Studio Pottery' due to its focus on functional vessels and 'pots', the name of 'Studio Ceramics' now refers broadly to include work by artists and designers that may be more conceptual or sculptural rather than functional. As an artistic movement Studio Ceramics has a peculiar history. It is a history that includes changes in artistic and public taste, developments in art historical terms and small and very individual stories of artists and potters.

  • 9. Ceramic Arts
    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.

  • Earthenware Clays
    Arbuckle Earthenware Earthenware Clays Earthenware usually means a porous clay body maturing between cone 06 – cone 01 (1873°F ‐ 2152°F). Absorption varies generally between 5% ‐20%. Earthenware clay is usually not fired to vitrification (a hard, dense, glassy, non‐absorbent state ‐ cf. porcelain). This means pieces with crazed glaze may seep liquids. Terra sigillata applied to the foot helps decrease absorption and reduce delayed crazing. Low fire fluxes melt over a shorter range than high fire materials, and firing an earthenware body to near vitrification usually results in a dense, brittle body with poor thermal shock resistance and increased warping and dunting potential. Although it is possible to fire terra cotta in a gas kiln in oxidation, this is often difficult to control. Reduced areas may be less absorbent than the rest of the body and cause problems in glazing. Most lowfire ware is fired in electric kilns. Gail Kendall, Tureen, handbuilt Raku firing and bodies are special cases. A less dense body has better thermal shock resistance and will insulate better. Earthenware generally shrinks less than stoneware and porcelain, and as a result is often used for sculpture. See Etruscan full‐size figure sculpture and sarcophagi in terra cotta. At low temperatures, glaze may look superficial & generally lacks the depth and richness of high fire glazes. The trade‐offs are: • a brighter palette and an extended range of color. Many commercial stains burn out before cone 10 or are fugitive in reduction. • accessible technology. Small electric test kilns may be able to plug into ordinary 115 volt outlets, bigger kilns usually require 208 or 220 volt service (the type required by many air conditioners and electric dryers).

Most rural potters depend upon traditional pottery kilns for burning process by firewood or coconut husk. In order to produce high quality pottery products better burning process is needed. The purpose of the project is to thermal analysis of burning process in a traditional furnace in order to achieve uniform temperature inside the kiln and decrease the fuel consumption through better distribution of input heat. The traditional kilns are bonfire kilns, which involve open firing in shallow pit. These kilns suffer higher fuel consumption, poor ware strength and extensive breakage. Smokes produced during firing will serious health problems to pottery workers and their family.

  • Vier Flüsse – Vier Himmelsrichtungen Unterwegs an Der Hauptwasserscheide Europas
    MEDIEN -INFORMATION Januar 2019 Vier Flüsse – vier Himmelsrichtungen Unterwegs an der Hauptwasserscheide Europas Fichtelberg/München, 29. Januar 2019. Der erste fließt nach Norden, der zweite nach Süden, der dritte nach Osten und der vierte nach Westen – das Fichtelgebirge ist eine europäische Wasserscheide, von der die vier Flüsse Sächsische Saale, Fichtelnaab, Eger und Weißer Main ihre Wasser in alle vier Himmelsrichtungen aussenden. Neben diesen vier Hauptquellen entspringen in der Region zahlreiche kleine Quellen, die es per pedes oder mit dem Fahrrad zu entdecken gilt. Denn das wald- und gesteinsreiche Fichtelgebirge zeichnet sich nicht nur durch das hohe Granit- Vorkommen, sondern auch durch seine über 1.200 kartierten Quellen aus. v.l.n.r.: Flusslandschaft Weißer Main, Panoramabad im ALEXBAD, Egerquelle. © Tourismuszentrale Fichtelgebirge e.V. Radeln und Wandern „mit dem Strom“ Auf speziellen Themenwegen geht es für Aktive entlang der vier Hauptquellen Sächsische Saale, Eger, Weißer Main und Fichtelnaab, die unter anderem wichtige Zubringer für bedeutende deutsche Flüsse wie Elbe, Donau und Main sind. Der Fichtelnaab Radweg beginnt am Ursprung des Flusses in den Höhen des Fichtelgebirges bei Fichtelberg. Auf 56 Kilometern führt er über interessante Ortschaften in der Oberpfalz – wie beispielsweise Brand, dem Geburtsort des Komponisten Max Reger – und durch die Felsenwelt des Naturparks Steinwald sowie das malerische Waldnaabtal im Oberpfälzer Wald bis zum GEO-Zentrum in Windischeschenbach. Die Weißmainquelle entspringt in Bischofsgrün – hier startet der Mainradweg, auf dem es meist talabwärts vorbei an romantischem Fachwerk in Bad Berneck und markgräflichem Prunk in Kulmbach geht. Der Eger-Radweg, der 2019 komplett neu konzipiert wird, eignet sich dank seiner geringen Steigungen vor allem gut für Familien.
