AMACO - American Art Clay Company Opalescent Glazes have a high gloss similar to mother-of-pearl. Best results are achieved with three or four applications of glaze. On textured ware, the glaze flows thin on relief and thick in incised areas, giving an added dimension on the surface.
AMACO - American Art Clay Company There are many artists who use the Amaco lines of underglazes and the work is rich and diverse. This album will be updated frequently and feature work of Artists from all over the world.
Art promotes a sense of community and is now widely accepted in healthcare as an aid to healing. Support and encouragement go a long way toward positive medical outcomes, reducing feelings of isolation and despair...

Colors are more intense and brilliant than those of many other glazes. Because AMACO F-Series Glazes are leadless, they are recommended for dinnerware as well as all types of pottery made from AMACO pottery clays.

There were some questions regarding our advertised capacity of the ie line of wheels. We claim 75 pounds for the ie and 100 pounds for the ie-x.
These photos show 100 pounds on a standard ie (25 pounds above the advertised capacity). The clay was centered in four 25 pound stages. The motor was barely warm to the touch after the last stage and didn’t seem to struggle.
I stand behind our claim.

At a staff/faculty workshop last year, participants, including Babson Ceramics Artist-In-Residence Stephanie Osser, were asked to break into groups of 4 and to do something collaboratively with a Twizzler, a favorite sweet of Undergrad Dean Dennis Hanno!
Each team member was to take a turn in the roles of initiator (in...fluence or leader), supporter (follower), opposer (counter-leader), and witness (active observer).
When it was her turn to initiate, Osser thought immediately of doing something in her medium of clay. She imagined pressing the Twizzler into clay, making a master mold, and reproducing an image on tiles from the impressions of the clay in the Twizzler. She felt the spiral candy shape would lend itself well to her idea. It took her some convincing and some trust.
After the workshop, Osser pursued the idea and with help from ceramics student Dalila Fernandez Dolengo, wife of a current MBA student, she found a design inspiration: an image of a tree that looked like a dancing woman.
The reproduced picture of the tree was divided into 6" x 6" squares. Then Osser enlarged the squares to create the 3' x 5' mural size she wanted. Together with volunteers and student monitors they pressed out the tiles, transferred the images and applied tons of clay Twizzlers.
After slow drying and bisque firing in the Babson studio kiln, more ceramic students glazed it, including undergrads Jamaal Eversley and Obe Boakye, and senior director in the dean's office, Joyce Gordon.
It took a year to complete, and with help from Facilities, it is on display across from room 215 in Trim/Sorenson Visual Arts Center. The names of many volunteer artists are on the mural.
Osser hopes it will inspire students to dream a little, be creative and innovative. Isn't that the entrepreneur's theme song?
Students are stopping to admire it, says Osser. Some just see a tree; some notice that the tree is a dancing figure. Some have to be convinced that it's not made of real Twizzlers!‚
Babson College is a business school in Wellesley, Massachusetts with a ceramics studio.
