A few weeks ago, we presented an excerpt from the new Ceramics Handbook, Wall Pieces. The response to that post was so enthusiastic, that we decided we should come up with a free download on ceramic tile. And so we have...

After I spouted off about spouts (sorry, I couldn’t resist) last week, Ceramic Arts Daily was all abuzz with comments asking for close up video of spout making. So I am making it my mission to find a good close up spout demonstration for you. ...

Using two clays of contrasting color to throw or handbuild pottery can lead to some very beautiful surfaces. Colored clays can be wedged together to the point at which they are marbled and then thrown on the pottery wheel or handbuilt into various forms...

After reading an article referring to this process as “marbling... Read More” I couldn’t wait to give it a try. I used low fire white and terra cotta clays to experiment with, and was really pleased with the very simple patters of swirls and lace that came through while trimming. I didn’t do anything quite this advanced as this article shows however. I have also gave stoneware a go; the jury is still out on how I like those results there; I prefer the bolder contrast. It’s quite fun and exciting to watch a simple pot take on amazing patterns. Now I’m looking forward to finding out some new patterns to give a try after reading this!

Stenciling is a great decorative technique for pottery. A traditional method for applying stencils is to cut or tear paper shapes, adhere them to leather-hard clay and then apply slip over the entire clay surface. Once the slip dries, the paper is peeled away to reveal the design...

When you peal off the sticker you still have to add glaze, thus food safe.

b/c the slip is clay, if you get an air bubble under the slip with the paper/sticker, it has the same effect as an air bubble in your clay. But maybe that's just applicable when screen printing on clay.

Pitchers are a project that I rarely take on. Not sure why. Well, maybe I do know why: I always end up with wimpy, anemic little spouts. And, guess what? Those spouts are not getting any less anemic because I am not practicing them because I rarely do pitchers...

High quality potter, poor quality video. I would not order any videos from them until the sound and picture quality are corrected. The spout isn't that difficult, so everyone should try making a pitcher. Pulling handles is fun, but takes a little practice. The most difficult part about making pitchers is the lip; if you are not making a lid, you ... Read Moreneed not make the lip so elaborate. Try it, you'll like it! To any viewers in FL, I am a qualified pottery instructor, and would be happy to give one-on-one instruction.

Nancy - The video clips that we excerpt from DVDs are compressed to be web ready (we need to make the files as small as we can), so the quality of the picture and sound on the DVD is superior to what you see in the clips online.

Yes, pottery gives a whole new meaning to the term Pyromaniac.

Precious metal clay (PMC) is a pretty intriguing material. I had heard about it over the years but had never really looked into it until recently...
