Today's Ceramic Arts Daily Feature
View Larger Image | Annie Chrietzberg uses a combination of glazing techniques including dipping, pouring and brushing.

| May 12, 2008 by Annie Chrietzberg| Read Comments (0) I have to admit, glazing is not my favorite part of the ceramic
process. It’s probably because of its potential to make or break a good
pot (and believe me, I have broken quite a few with poor glaze
application). I tend to be a bit of a sloppy glazer and I sometimes
rush through it a little more quickly than I should. Annie Crietzberg
is the polar opposite of me in the glaze room: methodical and precise.
I know my glazing outcomes could be greatly improved if I followed just
a couple of Annie’s tips, so I thought I would share them with the
community. Hopefully you will benefit from Annie’s advice too! –

Glazing Techniques & Glaze Recipes Ceramics Decorating Ceramic Art Techniques | |  | May 5, 2008 Today’s ceramic technique was adapted from another artistic process:
screen-printing textiles. Printing onto clay is not a new technique. A
browse through the Pottery Making Illustrated back issues,
including the most recent issue, turns up lots of articles on various
ways to print on clay. But the following method was a new twist that I
hadn't seen before. Though she had started out her artistic career as a
potter, life’s twists and turns caused Susan Kotulak to shift gears and
pursue textile arts. But the clay called her back and she now works
actively in both media. It’s no surprise, then, that having this dual
focus would eventually lead to the two processes influencing one
another. This super cool technique is one of several that she developed
for pottery using materials from her textile/surface design work. Read Comments (1) | Read More Read more about these related topics:
Firing & Raku Glazing Techniques & Glaze Recipes Ceramics Decorating | |  | May 2, 2008 For many of us, space constraints or financial constraints make it
unpractical to have kilns in our studios. For me, the obstacle is not
being ready to shell out the cash for the electrical upgrades needed in
my home studio. So, like many of you, I rely on others to fire my
pottery. A constant challenge is getting our fragile greenware
across town in one piece. For this week’s tip of the week, I have
gathered a couple of ingenious solutions to this problem from some of
our readers. Even if you are one of those lucky ceramic artists who doesn’t have
to transport greenware, these tips can be helpful for transporting
finished pottery or ceramic sculpture to arts festivals, craft fairs
and galleries. Read Comments (0) | Read More Read more about these related topics:
