| May 14, 2008 by Harry Spring| Read Comments (2) After high firing in a gas kiln for 25 years, Wickford, Rhode
Island, potter Harry Spring was forced by circumstances to switch to
electric. This was quite an adjustment, as Spring had come to depend on
the serendipitous effects that are part of the magic of reduction
firing. But, adjust he did. Today he shares with us some of the
adjustments he made that have made this switch a fun challenge rather
than a burden. –Jennifer Harnetty, editor. Read More

  | May 12, 2008 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:
