Ceramics 1 Week 11

This week, we explore essential concepts in ceramics, focusing on contour lines and symmetrical outlines for wheel-thrown bowls. Learn about the Banding Wheel for glazing, appreciate the difference between glossy and matte finishes, and understand the role of transparent and opaque glazes in revealing colors. Discover key glaze components like silica, fluxes, and oxides that influence texture and color. Inspired by creativity, embrace your intuition as you finalize your ceramic projects, ensuring proper labeling and self-grading for assessment.

  1. Ceramics 1 Week 11

  2. Contour Line • The outline of an object • Outlines of wheel thrown bowls need to be symmetrical

  3. Banding Wheel • A stand that spins to rotate pots while glazing

  4. Glossy Finish • Shiny surface that reflects light • Use to serve food in or on

  5. Matt Finish • Dull surface that absorbs light • Use on the outside of vessels and bowls

  6. Transparent glazes • Clear glaze allows the color underneath to show through • Under-glazes and Watercolor glazes need a transparent glaze on top

  7. Opaque glazes • Cloudy so that you cannot see through to the color beneath

  8. Silica • The ingredient in glaze that forms glass • Ground quartz

  9. Flux • The ingredient in glaze that lowers a glaze’s melting point, so that the glaze melts before the clay melts • Lead, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, barium, lithium, boric and zinc oxide are all fluxes.

  10. Oxides • The ingredient in a glaze formula that determines the color of the glaze

  11. Creative Problem Solving SkillIntuition • Trust your first impression • Listen to your intuition • Think about what appears to be the problem • Ask others or get a new first impression

  12. Alan Alda US Actor (1936 - ) • Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing.

  13. Albert Eistein (1879-1955) "The only real valuable thing is intuition."

  14. When Your Projects Are Done Being Glazed • Make sure your name is clearly written on the bottom • Fill out a self-grade and place on the counter by the clock • Both the plate and the container are due next week Friday the 5th of December
